The material commonly mentions "isolates" or V8 taking 5ms to cold start, which seems clearly aimed at Workers.
But the same point applies when comparing against Lambda. It's not a cold start if the app code is already resident in memory in advance. Workers and Lambda also proactively load some apps in advance, and we don't call it a "cold start" in those cases.
