On Android, in the old days, an app could be registered as a "Device Administrator". When you set up an Exchange account on the device, the email client requested the user to activate device admin before it would sync email. If the user clicked the activate button, the email client would have permission to reset password/wipe device, etc. [0] This didn't require enrolling into any MDM software.
