FYI - My question changed from the similarity of pipes and services to just thinking about how something like services could be implemented on Linux. I did take a look at GnuStep Services, but is it the way someone would have done, if starting from a clean slate ?
Powershell has a "pipeline" as well which works at object level. Again, it may not be the same thing as pipes or services implementation-wise, but it is conceptually relevant.
