I’m out of the loop - where does Google commit to turning off IMAP? Is there any other standard that non-Google mail clients can follow?

Will Apple Mail lose Gmail compatibility or can they upgrade to something?

This is the original announcement I'm aware of:

IIRC Apple Mail uses IMAP via Oauth.

So it's specifically IMAP without OAuth?

Yes- I used to maintain an open source imap library and looked into this when they first made the announcement. Microsoft is also planning on doing the same thing.
