I don't have any inside information on how Apple will do things in iOS, but I see no reason why they couldn't do that.
"Services" have been part of iOS/OS X since the late 80s/early 90s with NeXTStep, the precursor to both.
I don't think Apple is deliberately not allowing services/intents in the manner you describe, I think it's just taking them a long time to figure out how to do it within the process and security model they are trying to enforce in iOS.
