So apparently Apollo does push notifications even when you aren't using the app, RiF doesn't. So Apollo has a backend process polling constantly and RiF doesn't

No you can turn that on Rif too. It's an opt-in tho, so guess the vast majority of users don't have it.

Sync gives the option to choose how often it polls for it. Every x minutes, or every refresh.

Yeah, but that's a paid service as part of the paid Ultra subscription (because of the associated costs of running the backend server actually polling reddit), which I assume most people using Apollo don't have.
