Serverless is just backend by a different name. It sounds like you’re promoting the “Javascript does everything” mentality, which is correct, but you’re spinning it into a weird “there is no backend” world. There’s still a backend anytime an app calls a service. I don’t get the point of this post.

This post is just about why you would need one, wether it's serverless, containers, or monolithic.

I should have split this into two posts, sorry.

Nice post, keep in mind there is almost always a backend when data is involve.The difference relies on WHO manages that back end. Serverless is just a vendor providing and managing the infrastructure.
