With real estate, it's
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

With ILE, it's
LINKAGE, LINKAGE, LINKAGE!

With OPM, your only linkage options are static linkage within a monolithic program (and usually without local variables), and dynamic linkage to other monolithic programs. While it's easy enough to write an OPM program that duplicates most of the functionality of a service program, it doesn't duplicate all of that functionality.

With ILE, you lose only the ability to write an actual MI program (which you can still do in OPM, if the "impedance bump" of calling OPM from ILE isn't a problem), and you gain static linkage between separately compiled modules, as well as dynamic linkage to actual service programs.
