>We expect serverless computing to become simpler to program securely than serverful computing, benefiting from the high level of programming abstraction and the fine-grained isolation of cloud functions

In my view, that's the really key bit. Securing systems is an endless task, even (or especially) if they are cloud hosted.

Right now serverless is definitely not simpler than a monolith. It's "simple" if you squint but any real workloads have you dealing with high concurrency for almost all tasks that a single monolith could handle with a single instance.

You are right and I'm glad you're mentioning it, and the general skepticism about serverless; it's not a golden hammer, its applications are limited, and not every problem should be (can be?) solved with a serverless architecture. The same goes for microservices, which is another gold hammer that people picked up and started to apply to a lot of problems - I've seen a few projects where microservices was the initial architecture, while all of those would've been better off with a monolith for the first two years of operation (before any significant load) to figure out the actual problem to be solved.
