The good old: Oh look, there are n different services, but all of them have not completely nailed it and my specific use case is not covered.

I'll create a new service that does all of the stuff the old services already did, aswell as this new thing, thus making the old n services obsolete. Everyone will be thankful for the unifying service and hail me for reducing the number of choices from n down to 1.

That's how we ended up with n+1 different services.
