They can impose whatever they want to OEMs who want to ship the Play Services and Google apps. That's pretty much all of them.
If they say "install it this way or no Play Store for you", every manufacturer will follow.

They almost certainly cannot do that in Europe at the moment given the regulatory situation. Indeed, I expect to see far fewer restrictions going forward, not more.

Why would they do that? Isn't Play Store the way Google monetizes android?

That is what I have been wishing for years, and yet they still choose not to do it.
