Outlook.com Vs. Gmail

Hosted Exchange isn't just OWA. I used hosted Exchange and while OWA is available to me my device is synced via EAS.

Yes. The Exchange server also supports IMAP if enabled. But that's beside the point, which is that Exchange as it is used in corporate environments (using OWA or MAPI) has capabilities that go beyond what can be done with EAS.

I would have loved to have stayed with Gmail instead of trying out all the other different services. I'm not naive enough to think that other services don’t use my data in some way. That doesn't bother me. Loved Gmail and still do, but no push is just ridiculous! I will not use the Gmail app when the native app is so much better IMO... Just my $0.02.

I do agree with you finding no push, unacceptable. I've been using it for so long that I've got a grandfathered exchange account that pushes my mail.

It will stop working once you get a new device. That's why I had to switch once I got my 5s.

Once you get a new device you'll lose push.
