I don't use it for Players, or ServerScriptService, or ReplicatedStorage, or any of that really. Why use it?

Is GetService even necessary?

It's not necessary in the same way that FindFirstChild is not necessary. I'm not sure if it's possible any more, but you used to be able to directly rename Services (i.e. game.Lighting.Name = "sasuage"), which would break all scripts trying to directly access it by assuming its name.
GetService is simply a 'safer' way to get Services from game.

Not sure...I don't use it either. I believe it's just another method of accessing the service.
Yes, Actually there are some services that are not listed that you can use :GetService() to obtain.
