Yes. If starting a Docker instance is a "function call", then what is the analog for making a HTTP request to a Docker-hosted server? The analogy was fine for describing the idea, and perhaps it even holds if the Docker image is a processing step instead of a service. But if the Docker image is a service... We have a set of terminology (and technology!) already for services -- let's use those, rather than continue to force the analogy all the way down.
