The real reason so few apps offer push is the cost. We evaluated offering push for our Twitter app (and still are considering it) but it's difficult to make money with Apple's available models. Each .99 purchase means .70 cents profit to the developer, add in hosting costs for a server to support your users for all time going forward and it becomes problematic to make a profit over the long term.
