Are you seriously incapable of talking about programs that don't require servers because the word serverless exists? Have you considered... offline? Local? I've never heard the word serverless ever used to describe a system that does not require servers.

No, but then why even have that term if it never describes something without servers?

"serverless" does not add any value. It causes confusion instead of creating clarity. It is utterly useless.
