Personally I found serverless incredibly useful for very simple tasks, tasks where even a t2.micro would be overkill. I have a couple of static websites that are mostly static but still occasionally have to do "server stuff" like sending an email or talking to a database. For those instances a Lambda is incredibly useful because it costs you nothing compared to an EC2 and it less maintenance. But for bigger setups I agree it would be easier to just host on a small-medium VM (and I say that as someone whose got an entire API of like 200+ endpoints deployed in lambda)
