The big difference is that with bash (python, perl, php etc..) exploits, all you need is to upgrade a package, and you are secure. No need to touch any of the application code. Compare it with C, where the bugs are likely unique per app, and require non-trivial effort to detect and fix. Execution of user-specific code by serverless services requires non-trivial isolation, and is predicated on "each user has its own separated area" to work. This is not the case with most websites. Take HN for example -- there is a shared state (list of posts) and app-specific logic of who can edit the posts (original owner or moderator). No OS-based service can enforce this for you.
