It's not only a misnomer but the term is not needed. We've had SOA, web services, microservices, now serverless. I'm not saying it's all hype. It's rather a steady, lasting a few decades, transition towards outsourcing by encapsulating complexity into services. For me we've just arrived to the point where web services are mature enough so they can be consumed directly from the browser.
