5. THE UTILITY

6. born from necessity

7. fast CI builds
Calling live services is slow

8. avoid breaking TOS
Getting blocked for too many requests is annoying and potentially expensive (monetarily)

9. clarity
canned responses means anyone can see what a response SHOULD look like [w/o docs]

10. avoiding stale data
unreliable APIs mean that the service response could change any time without notification
