Balanced abstracts away this batching process and giving you events and nice json objects to deal with rather than parsing the batch file that eventually gets returned.
You could make the same argument for the card processing, if you really really wanted to you could bypass Balanced/WePay/Braintree/whoever and deal directly with the bank but for most people your time is better spent getting on with your core business.
