No we call those a more succinct term: local processes. We call "serverless" for processes running not locally that do not require standing up a server that you care about for, are billed by usage only ($0 for none, infinity for infinite), and you are not concerned where or how it is running. Are there computers listening for requests somewhere that someone is managing that is doing this? Yes. But from my frame of reference it is a service, not a server. I know a lot of people on here get hung up on it, but it is the term and it is not going to go away.
