We can create a service without selectors and manually defined Endpoints. Having a single monitoring interface can be beneficial for a lot of reason: one of them is to use the monitoring tools we already use in the cluster, without setting up different monitoring stacks across VMs, K8S clusters etc (and the burden of managing them)...
