Had an argument with my architect about this once. He said its because serverless functions can be run on the edge as well, making them totally portable. I said that already exists and it’s called fucking executables.
Now is about authenticity though. When I was young being an adult was all about being buttoned down and having no emotions, and definitely never openly being queer. If we genuinely believe that we’ve made any progress as a society by unmasking, then obviously a far future utopia should at least meet the low watermark we have set in learning to accept ourselves and each other.
For some reason most of my christmas tree decorations now are sea creatures.
