Might as well throw away the automobiles and go back to horses, they're cheaper on gas.

Forget that they take more time to care for, and to learn how to ride, and how to feed properly.

It's straightforward logic.

Serverless platforms increase convenience.

Throwing them away decreases convenience and increases developer time to learn and launch.

Many great inventions, like writing, automobiles, all increased convenience.

Throwing away inventions that increase convenience, decreases convenience.

Humans reproduce. Trees reproduce. Humans should reproduce with trees.

Just because something is logical doesn't mean it makes sense.
