I'm guessing it's a combination of general optimizations, Google Play services & store not having the same level of background and network capabilities, and more control over background apps in general.

OK. I have no google services running but do not get amazing battery. Its probably because I have a couple of messaging apps awake in the background though. I tried self-hosting push notifications but didn't get it working reliably.

This is what I do I self host pretty much most of my services.

Cool, what's your setup for push notifications? I do too but reached a stumbling block with push notifications, gave up and have been doing without them since. Not great for my phone's battery life probably...
