I don't believe there's any judgement in "serverless service". Depending on your requirements you may want this solution or you may prefer something else. It got a name, because when you get tired of saying "model more abstract than PAAS but based on the same principles of being independent of the infrastructure" you invent a short name - servers got abstracted, so it's "serverless".

The industry doesn't invent words. It invents new solutions. If they get popular they get names, so it's easier to communicate. That's how every industry works.
