Isn't this essentially a description of the roles and responsibilities of an ESB, just with the majority of the attached services being the clients?

This is a REST viewpoint so assumes all services are exposed by a REST API. ESB sits in the infrastructure layer and not the presentation - so these cannot be the same.

But I think you are right that in some enterprises ESB connects everything but in this case this is a really nice presentation to watch - back from 2008 http://www.infoq.com/presentations/webber-guerilla-soa
