Why we need entry-list.component?

I just didn't understand why do we need entry-list.component? If we have entry.component why can't we just put all these methods and services there??

You can say that the whole app can be in a single component if you want but It is better to decompose your app into smaller reusable and easy to mantain components. For a kind of item/list/detail app will be better if you have a item component wich can be a single photo and a list component wich is a list of items. It does not matter how complex your item component can be, you will have only the code that corresponds to that piece.

At the begining this can feel like an unnecesary thing because you have just a few lines written but planning a good structure can save you a lot of time in the future.
