Imagine starting at a new company and you view a big diagram of all the services. "Flipper connects to klunker, which has a database called plomb. There's an arrow going from gonky all the way down to zippydoo, which generates a report that gets handled by fogle. And all this is orchestrated by butt".
I also like descriptive names because they help me fend off service bloat. "Sorry, it doesn't make sense to add bespoke client integration to report-generator. But we can make a new service which takes those reports and sends them to ABC Corp if you want."
