Not really. Serverless is OpEx. VPS is OpEx, but you also need OpEx budget for a person who can manage servers, not just a programmer.
VPS isn’t rocket science, so you can probably find someone who can both program things and do the basic VPS server management needed. But, it is work that needs to be done by someone. In some cases, like if you’re hiring scientists from academia who have never done any of their own sysadmin type stuff, it might be easier to just go with serverless so all they need to do is write programs.
it’s like eating at a restaurant and bitching it’s like eating at home.
while true, at home you didn’t need to pay for the staff, stove, ingredients, pots, pans, water, flatware, plates, cups, etc… you also ignore the fact that your kitchen at home is comprised of a single 200w microwave, a minifridge, and a single plate.
It just means that they’re not your servers.
CapEx vs OpEx.

A VPS in not my server in the same sense then
an oversimplification of a complex solution.

That’s fair, I agree.
