Samsung is part of OHA (Open Handset Alliance) & Others have access to Google Play Services; so Google can in-fact ask them to stick to the android specs.
Background services management was let loose in Android till 6.0; with doze mode & Job scheduler it has vastly improved.
I think manufacturers shouldn't start killing apps themselves, as shaming apps which abuse background services, eat power inconsistently by displaying notification & allowing user to 'force stop' the app themselves does the job as in OxygenOS.
For all the flak iOS gets regarding multitasking, I was impressed by their uncompromising attitude towards background services from the start, even when I was bashing my head during iOS development to implement features on par with android version. The background operations should be completed within 3 minutes, but there's no guarantee that it will not be killed before that!
