Since servers are ephemeral, any function call of note will need to traverse the network in some way anyway.

that's true, but there's traversing 2 links for a simple client<->server<->database setup, or traversing dozens or even hundreds of links for a microservice architecture, adding tons of fragility for no unique benefit.

Well, there are legitimate benefits, it's just that few organizations are poised to understand/utilize them.
