I don’t quite understand this. Doesn’t the BEAM runtime also have operational benefits over “lambdas”? Also not every application or component thereof wants stateless servers? What about live collaboration, game servers or just generally holding stuff in memory for perf reasons.

Yeah, one could easily argue the opposite: The excellent scaling characteristics of the BEAM means that there’s no need to use extreme performance compromises like AWS Lambda. You can scale an Erlang or Elixir application extremely far by just giving it more compute resources.
