#32I want to punch a drywall each time when I read "serverless".

#33I’d add an option for disabling “cold starts” and make them persistent. An annoying concept amazon came up with to save costs on their end. Other than that it’s pretty neat.
It also just looks terrible. Yeah I totally want to adopt this in 2022 first.

#38I don't understand how its offering differs from existing cloud offerings from AWS, Cloudflare and Netlify

"Serverless" has a pretty widely-accepted meaning now, as mentioned in other replies. You provide the application code, the platform provides the runtime environment, OS and interfaces. You should probably move on.
