Used by whom? A handful of marketroids? We're a technical community, ostensibly we favor precise language. We should push back against this sort of humpty-dumptyism, especially the new "descriptive language means you are forbidden to call out linguistic idiocy" kind. If this is "serverless" then a taxi ride is "carless" and a restaurant meal is "stoveless". There is a distinct semantic difference between "you don't have to deal with X directly" and "X does not exist". Imagine the U.S. having a proxy war by supporting insurgents who bled and died for their cause, and then having the audacity to call it "bloodless" because the insurgents weren't Americans! |
