A combination of heaters and being mostly deployed in warmer environments, I'd assume.
.ovh domains are like $2/year, if that helps.
What do you think an API is? They have reverse engineered the iMessage API and are using that to connect to the iMessage servers. It is literally impossible to do as you suggest (use entirely their own resources) because iMessage is centralized and cannot federate with any other server, even if one did exist.
How? It's not a MitM or anything like that, it's connecting exactly how an Apple device would connect. Everything is still E2EE, just one of the ends can now be an Android device.
Vivaldi does too. It's nice.
From what I understand, their guess is that Apple is now checking if the device also has support for other services, such as FaceTime. Beeper Mini and pypush don't pretend to support FaceTime, so it breaks.
Their hope was that they got close enough to an actual Apple device that breaking it would break Apple devices. It turns out they weren't close enough, but they could be with a few improvements.
Because they can't break that. It's using real Macs, so if they break iMessage for Beeper Cloud, they break it for their customers.
Yes. They have a fork of Synapse that they can continue to use even if the license prevents them from using upstream (which doesn't seem true, but I could be wrong).
Open source is a license. What you're referring to is "source-available." You can't legally fork, redistribute, or contribute to it.
