Question though - if I've been making 50+ mile trips after push starts wouldn't the battery just drain down to dead from the headlight and other electrics running for all that time?

No, the battery wouldn't drop down to dead because the whole time you are riding the bike's "alternator" is taking care of the electrics. That's why your bike runs fine once you get it started.

You aren't having problems with the start button are you? I mean, when you mash it, the starter does turn the engine over a little bit, right?
