How so?

I don't understand what would make it exponential as opposed to merely linear with traffic.

There's nothing in their pricing documentation to suggest this.

It's not. But the cost difference between servers and serverless is maybe exponential. As traffic gets really high, serverless is going to be extremely expensive compared to a dedicated box.
