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.
