If there was a way for them to get some sort of useless "token" to get the notifications themselves and pass them to Apple, I don't think the security issues would be anywhere near as severe (especially if it was an opt-in service).
Good point, that would be a much better solution. All they'd need is a web hook to let them know when there is new email for an account. They could use that to send a push notification with the correct badge count for unread messages.

That's what we should really be petitioning for.
