Answer
They encapsulate behavior and maintain business logic.
Domain methods, like 'applyDiscount()', encapsulate specific behavior and ensure that business rules are followed. This prevents misuse that can occur with generic setters. For example, directly setting a 'discountRate' can lead to invalid discounts if not validated.
