Talking about an entitlement "service", not a term I see used for "another part of the same code base", talking about it being a new single point of failure, the seeming mapping out of a JSON API.
Service classes are a common pattern used in monolithic codebases to isolate related logic from the rest of the system. Everything the author described in the article can absolutely be built in a monolithic codebase sharing the same database, or separate databases if you prefer.

Yes, we have them in our code base. I'm pretty much 100% sure the author wasn't referring to these though, the way the author refers to "the service" is not how I've seen people refer to service classes.

Yes, that, and the fact that the author seemed to assume that a microservice would be involved was what made me comment.
