I believe the point of using a .onion service is that you don't need to go through an exit relay (which is a relay connecting you to non tor services through the "normal" internet) as your service is already directly connected to the tor network, so you can directly build a circuit to it instead of building a circuit to an exit and then connection to your destination. My mental model for a .onion service is a dedicated exit allowing only that service, I have no idea how far from reality this is :)

Onion services don't need to use exit nodes, since their traffic doesn't need to leave the tor network.
yes yes understand. thank you
