I get you. Neither was I. But at a certain level, words are arbitrary and imperfect anyway. In your own example, "cloud" is often regarded as a bad term, because it tends to abstract away too much that it's just "somebody else's computer", as it's often defined. Lots of discussions have been had on how many people think "the cloud" is a sorta-magical thing, which "is just there". Just more recently some interesting aspects of "using the cloud" have been more thoroughly discussed (e.g. the jurisdiction it's hosted in, data breaches, etc). If the concept was described in a less abstract way, would these discussions have happened sooner? Later? Would it have become less of a "buzzword" amongst executives? So, is "cloud" really a better term than "serverless"?
