It might be better than that but it's not as good as the native mail app which doesn't have those issues, is the incumbent application for this sort of thing and is free and installed on all iPhones from the off.
But that's not really my point. My point is that petitioning Apple likely isn't a productive route for them to follow, they need to look at how they address this problem without relying on a third party who are unlikely to accommodate them.
Gmail has mechanisms for allowing access without you having to share you credentials with another organisation so it can be done. I get that it's not their core competence but if this is a market they want to be in, they might need to start expanding their skills base.
