Yes and when you’re using “serverless” services there are actually servers running somewhere. At this point, it’s not insightful for someone to mention either on HN.

If we are going to expand the discussion to general inaccuracy in human communication we are going to need a much larger thread.

I do agree with you that "serverless" is a misnomer and not a useful technical term. I'm guessing the marketing team wasn't fond of "dynamically provisioned and auto-scaled pool of virtual machine instance-based services".

So then should we also get rid of terms like “bugs in code”, “viruses” as it relates to computers, etc?

In a technical forum, most people have the domain specific knowledge and the “well actually” is not actually needed.
