You get 1 million free lambda invocations per month, completely free of infrastructure headaches for simple projects.

You can also make a CloudWatch alarm on billing to throttle your lambda functions at your specified price point. It's only a blank check if you want it to be.

Doesn't AWS force customers of their free tier to provide a valid paying method (i.e., credit card) to be charged once any limit is surpassed?

You can throttle serverless services by invocation count. AWS will alert you when an account exceeds a budget, Azure used to let you put a hard limit on the spend, not sure if they still do.
