It all depends on the definition of "service". The registries argue that what they provide is the registration function (insert a record into a database) and a management function (let me modify those records). The actual content of those records is of little consequence for their business model - we're the ones with the end-users, not them. Hence, registrars are often left holding the economic bag - which has the result of passing a lot of unecessary costs along to end-users.
