They already run cloud VMs sharing CPU, the sharing already happens so why would it be somehow magically cheaper?
And how do you think they make money? Every second of a serverless architecture is probably 100s or 1000s times more expensive than a second of a traditional server.
Use your brain for 10 seconds, it's obviously going to be ridiculously overpriced for the compute you actually get. That's how they make money. And on top of that they have to do so much more orchestration and overhead to run it.
And bonus points, you're now locked into their architecture too!
If you have enough load to have a dedicated machine running at 10% CPU load on average, it'll be cheaper running a dedicated machine than anything else, you probably looking at old school VMs costing 2x more, cloud servers 10x more expensive and serverless would probably be at a minimum 20x more expensive.

We're not luddites, you're just a sucker.
