Services are good but there is no such concept that apps _should_ be
doing
only one thing. Its purpose is for making flexibility in setting up
simple work flows
and speeding up the development.
Some operation can be separated into a few, in some complex operations
you can't,
Rather waste memory and CPU time starting an app just to use its
services,
directly linking a framework could be far less expensive, and of
course less flexible.
