Why do we need a portlet services layer

I was playing with the latest version of Liferay open source portal. I have previously worked a little with MOSS 2007. I noticed that for the portal platforms the preferred mechanism of accessing data was through a services layer. I was initially convinced that it was a good idea. Now I am not sure if this is the ideal design for all circumstances.

While looking around, I found this post on the IBM developer blog.
