And if you force Google to stop verifying proper behaviour in CTS, do you expect those manufacturers to allow you to run background services at will?

They already kill off anything that's not whitelisted to keep those battery numbers up. The every new major OEM release we developers find bunch of new ways the try and kill background apps.
