Just coming to this article, I find my self agreeing with you and the gist of the thread about serverless being a horrible descriptor at the same time.

It was just one thread though, and I could see how it sucked people into its vortex, I haven't even had a chance to read the article yet, and here I am doing the same as everyone else (including you...). Well, worse actually, as we've contributed to a new thread.

Considering that all we have in that shed is a bunch of tools for the county workers maybe it shouldn't be called a bikeshed.

"[T]he English language... becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts."

I find it easier to live with if you consider it to mean "daemonless". So not about hardware, but what software you don't have in your project.
