It's a good sign that people who only talk about FaaS when they say "serverless" didn't understand serverless at all. And I see this as a failure on the serverless proponents side.
The serverless proponents are selling their paradigm as simple solution, which leads many people to believe simple means FaaS.
Throwing Lambda on all backend problems is a setup for failure. Often transfer and simple transform of data can be done serverless without a Lambda, which cuts costs AND leads to better performance.
