Yes and it is worrying. Google ought to make everything AOSP and but keep anything proprietary. They have nothing to lose so I don't understand why they are stripping stuff from AOSP.

They want people to use and be reliant on Google's version of android with play services and Google apps. That's what they have to lose.

Which OEMs don't include Play Services other than the ones that aren't allowed to?

OEMs selling smartphones in China. And those like amazon selling fireOS based tablets, TVs, and fire TV sticks.
