It's really not. A service adds complexity. If you have no reason to add it besides to "reduce complexity" - that is an oxymoron.
There are many concrete reasons to have one. Reducing complexity is not one.
That's like arguing you can drive farther forward if you go in reverse. No.
There are reasons to drive in reverse. To move forward is not one of them.
