It's interesting how most of the responses to this post agree that "serverless" isn't literally what's happening but agree to that name and say to get over it.

It's akin to someone saying it's "free" because you don't have to think about the money, e.g. you pay with a credit card.
Perhaps the name it should be called is adminless or backend as a service. In any case, there's probably not much one can do about the name at this point.

An entire infrastructure to run your code, without having to set it up (although you still need to configure logging to get useful data in most situations, it seems).
