How come I can't see Memory/CPU usage for services on windows?

On windows you can see pull up the task manager or Get-Process in powershell to get a list of running processes along with their memory and cpu usage.

You can also (on windows 8 or Get-Service in powershell) view all running services. Yet for services you do not get any of those numbers.

From my developer point of view this always seemed a bit odd. Sure, a service requires a bunch more deployment effort and is awkward to code and debug, but otherwise it's just a program same as any other.

I'm sure there's a good reason for why services do not have those numbers, one that probably has something to do with how windows runs services. What is that reason?
