Sure. But an entity is at least to me a potential domain object that might contain business logic which in turn might need to get access to other services.

Because the domain layer is potentially more reusable. Often the service layer is specific to the application. 

I asked because I wanted to know how flexible the framework can be if I want to design an app following DDD principles.
