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....
