Warpy,
I have a quite a few games I can think of straight away that do split-screen:
Halo 3
Forza 2
Party Animals
There probably are a lot more games that do it but those are the only ones that come to mind.
I don't think it's a Microsoft edict, it's mostly up to the developers.
There is also Xbox 360 Link which is quite nice where you can play both play locally on your own screens.
One of the features I really like about the 360 is the ability to just plug in a USB stick and play music from it and this will automatically replace the music track (but not the sound effects) of whatever game I'm playing. For games like Paradise City this is almost an essential feature (the music track isn't that bad, it's just limited).
