I agree with you, but trying to see it from BB's perspective: they make money from selling devices, that require BB services to do push.
Push email is now a commodity, via push IMAP, push Exchange, COMET webmail, and a bucketload of other apps.
BBM is one of the last things unique to BB. Of course it will inevitably be commoditized, but BB will try and delay this as long as possible using whatever tactics it can.
If you can get a nicer quality smartphone that does instant messaging, and push email, why would you want a BB with a poor quality web browser and a paltry few shitty quality apps?
