As I said earlier, given the choice between a conspiracy theory and a simple ignorance of process and responsibilities, I'd choose the latter.
A lot of knowledge and experience walked out the Airservices doors in 2016 when they VRed and IVRed most of their "back room" people who used to handle change management proposals, processes and procedures.
As you have indicated, responsibility for determining what class of airspace and level of service to be provided in any area rests with CASA OAR, not Airservices. OAR initiate aeronautical studies of locations, airspace and ATC groups for this reason.
Perhaps Airservices should simply sit back and continue to provide the services they already do - and by all means continue to institute efficiency improvements in their operations and organisation - and wait for
CASA OAR to direct them to implement airspace and service level changes where they - CASA OAR - deem necessary.
