The lack of service layers is perhaps why so many websites get huge breaches, with a service in the middle, the hackers would get significantly less data before they're detected. | |

The main point to take away from both answers is that this is (mainly) about solving maintenance issues with having multiple clients that need to do the same thing. The greater number of clients using the service, the bigger the maintenance gain for you. | |

Eventually because I'm not too experienced I decided to choose the answer that gets most upvotes. I still feel that your answer would deserve more upvotes. In any event I really do appreciate that you shared your knowledge and experience. Thank you! | |
