Isn't the purpose of Google's push service that you can receive notifications for a bunch of services with only a single connection?

I don't quite understand how adding a different service helps, although having an alternative when Google's push is unavailable could be useful, and if there's some way to share that alternate service among many apps, that would reduce overhead of having two notification channels where each app with two channels has their own alternate channel?
