"Since the OS is unreachable"

Woah slow down there what? That's a significant presumption.

This 'serverless' thing is a fad.

"Since the OS is unreachable": "ideally and theoretically, the OS is behind layers of opaque abstraction and we hope nobody will find security holes to directly access it"
I don't think it's a fad, we will see more like this, just another layer of abstraction.

Might have been better to write, assuming the OS is unreachable - which is the security contract I assume.

"serverless" is running someone software on someone else OS on someone else hardware.
