Because what you described is "encapsulation", and microservices is a very heavyweight and expensive way to get it.

I wonder if there's any writing out there about the evolutionary hierarchy of refactoring, like:

code > function/method > module > class > ... > microservice

Exactly. And we have decades of experience with monolithic apps where encapsulation is not adhered to.

So yes it is heavyweight. But it also works.

Well, granted. It will take decades for we to have decades of experience with microservices that break clear encapsulation.
