I'm also pretty sure most cloud systems contain very few condensed water droplets. The containers I work with are not 20 or 40 foot long, and while I ship stuff with their help, no actual ships are involved.
Could there have been a better word than serverless? Probably, but that is the one that is currently used for that general kind of architecture. I would have called that PaaS before, and sometimes still do.

I explicitly stated that by analogy it does not make sense, while containers contain something and works as analogy. But you chose to disregard that part of the answer.
