We spoke about this at the CNCF serverless WG session a couple of days ago. I think there was consensus that the term Serverless applies to an architectural pattern and is not meant to be taken literally (as with so many other design patterns - bridge, factory, facade etc). Serverless also refers to the experience the developer gets of "packaging and deploying" the application without worrying about scale.
