Is it believed that you'll do less overall compute and bandwidth if you use serverless functions to execute (parts of your) client, in place of sending static bundles to the client and letting them execute it? I don't really get S

You talk about supply and demand in your comments, and then somehow the idea that corporations controlling the supply lets them manipulate and ignore demand just goes over your head. Strange.
