API gateway is optional though - it's poorly documented but most workloads are just fine without it.

How does one invoke a Lambda function via HTTP without an AWS account (ie a public API call)? I think you are not including it in the "most workloads"?

Most if not all AWS services are really just HTTP APIs. A Lambda invocation is really just a POST to a public AWS endpoint. You can absolutely come up with login flows that obtain a set of temporary STS credentials that are only allowed to invoke your "API" function. (Agreed this is not most workloads)
