Likely because you were making conscious or unconscious assumptions
about your code that allowed you to do the coding more efficiently.

If you go to making every communicated object "externalizable" then its
morally equivalent really to building your own packet protocol.  About
the only time I can imagine this would be useful is if you wanted to
keep RMI while ditching the Serialization code.  Myself i havent run
into a case where default Serialization was inappropriate but RMI still
was....
