If you hard code their services into your product, sure. But you should be abstracting away from that. Then it's just writing new plugins instead of redesigning everything.

Abstracting away is costly. You can target only the lowest common denominator. The abstractions are going to leak. It's like the criticism of ORMs, only worse since SQL is at least standardized.
