>An open push framework only makes sense (for battery optimization at least) if it's centralized, and all applications make use of it.

Sure, from the perspective of a single device. But that doesn't mean all devices have to use the same push server.

So as an app developer, I need to integrate each of those into my app, or provide alternative builds for all?

No, you need to use a library that allows the user to configure the push server, which should be configured device-wide and communicated to the app server.

Exactly. I believe this is how Web Push works; the major browser vendors each run their own push servers, and the protocol is standardized.
