It's is simply that IMAP/SMTP do not have authentication options that<br>
are "secure enough" for Google[1]. Or perhaps rather that they at least<br>
must allow less secure authentication options per their respective<br>
standards/RFCs.<br>
<br>

<br>
[1] Basically they don't enforce two-factor auth.<br>
