There are still servers involved. Serverless sounds like its peer to peer. What it really is is VM less.

There's still a VM, too.

Can we call it "stateless"? Because there's theoretically no server state between requests?

Well, as a developer I don't need to concern myself with servers, so in a way the term is fitting.

The interface it gives you is the functionality that the server provides. A server does not mean 'operating system'. you don't have to deal with the OS, but you still have you app running on the server.
