I'll write a full response tomorrow, but highway=services (SA) is a singularly named place with a collection of specific amenities with dedicated access along a motorway. Fuel is one of those amenities. It is important to defining a SA, but it is not an SA itself.
Similar to how a mall is a singularly named location full of shops and amenities for shoppers, it is the collection of amenities together for a particular usage in a singularly named location that makes a Service Area, along with specialized access.
