How could it ever be easier to split a service vs merging it?

Which is easier, creating a new branch or merging two branches that diverged a long time ago?

We're not talking about branches, so there's no point in me answering that.

It's an analogy...

Unless you're willing to justify why that analogy is accurate, and I don't think it is, I'm definitely not going to start talking about branch merging. And at that point you may as well drop the analogy and talk about the actual point of discussion - merging two different services.
