Perhaps because people do their homework and just by reading the sales brochure they understand that lambdas are only cost-effective as handlers of low-frequency events, and they drag in extra costs by requiring support services to handle basic features like logging, tracing, and even handling basic http requests.

Predictability has nothing to do with it. Volume is the key factor, specially its impact on cost.

Those who mindlessly advocate lambdas as a blanket solution quite clearly didn't even read the marketing brochure. Otherwise they would be quite aware of how absurd their suggestion is.
