For a marketing term mainly aimed at developers, I'm amazed they picked one so terrible.

The message is "you don't need sysadmins anymore", which is exactly what developers want to hear.

It's also very good for the cloud vendors, because with noone in the sysadmin role, developers are far more likely address scaling issues by just throwing resources (money) at the problem.

Indeed. You still need someone whose job it is to ensure your S3 buckets are secure and whatnot. The job is different day to day but the need for someone to take responsibility for it hasn’t changed.
