This is indeed a Pavlovic response :) The promise of serverless is pretty simple, and pretty useful for the right use case - be it unpredictable load, or just very low load, or very frequent deployments, or pricing segmentation, or you don't have anyone as DevOps, and so on and so forth. I don't recall anyone saying there's any magic involved. The premise is exactly same as cloud compute - you (possibly, depends on ABC) don't need to provision and babysit a server to perform some action in response to http request (or in case of aws lambda, other triggers as well).
