I hate the "serverless" term, but I think people just use "serverless" for platforms where you can write some code and it will be automatically deployed, hosted and scaled on their server(s). So instead of "serverless" it's more like pre-configured managed server clusters running where you can only run restricted code/functions.
I personally don't understand who the target audience is, as small apps/companies very rarely (if ever) need to scale and large enterprise companies are probably better off hiring a sys admin and getting their own dedicated servers, which would lead to a lot more flexibility, performance and reduced costs.
