I love how the justification of numerous AWS services is always "so it can scale" but if and when that scale ever happens, a new architecture is necessary because the costs become untenable.

I haven't seen this happen myself. In projects that I've been involved with, the justification of using serverless services has been to reduce development costs, because you don't have to setup and develop everything from scratch and spend effort maintaining the infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to avoid doing anything else than define the business logic that is unique to the project.
