Big differences, with shared php hosting you get: (Yes, I'm sure there are exceptions, but they're... exceptions)
Payment per month not per usage. Normally there are usage tiers and a "you reached your limit" page rather than scaling.
No versioning beyond standard file operations.
No routing. You get all traffic in a single endpoint.
Only web traffic, no integration. Serverless in many cases is FaaS, with multiple event sources, not web-request-handler-aaS.
Sure, there are some similarities. But the use cases are completely different. Nobody is seriously considering "should I use AWS lambda, or GoDaddy shared PHP hosting?"
