Most? I don't think so. Small and simple apps generally don't, bigger
and more sophisticated ones generally do. Apple's own apps are more
likely to have provide services, but many non-Apple ones do, such as
Emacs (duh), LaTeXit, Opera, Quicksilver, Skim, Skype.

Relatively few apps have the capability of sending user supplied
Applescript commands to other apps, but I would suggest keeping that
capability, since it strengthens Emacs' position as a useful tool on
the Mac. (Though one could get much the same functionality by running
osascript as an external command.)
