Not OP, but as someone that's now rebuilt 4 serverless systems into monoliths (across 4 orgs) and achieved some pretty stunning results, serverless would be useful if all of these things are true:

1) Your workload is fairly simple 2) Your workload is unpredictably spiky from low lows to high highs 3) Latency is not a concern

If any of these aren't true, you're probably better off using a monolith (but you should think logically about your individual use case).

A rational and pragmatic response to an issue like this? You must be new here ...

These conditions seem to limit serverless systems to a very niche set of circumstances.

This is true, yes.
