A form service would have to (incomplete list):
* read from or change db records, possibly not self contained (directly accessing WP tables)
* be generated from a schema that allows for both frontend and backend validation
* said schema might be generated from or amended by db records
* authenticate with and talk to arbitrary external or internal services
* write to and read from the/a file system
* have an authentication and authorization scheme, possibly maintained via sessions
* send formatted email
* ...
So depending on where the service sets its boundary, it becomes either useless or too complex, when the alternative is to just write a module in PHP.
