You have indeed.
As I mentioned above , S3 is a serverless service.
Last time I checked , you don't provisioned , partition or scale S3 this is done by AWS behind the scene.
Same for Firebase , same for many services.
Now the move is into the "compute" aspect of thing and the architecture.
Lambda basically replace, in a limited way , the compute aspect of your architecture (EC2) but obviously it has it's limits.
There is a confusion between "Serverless Framework" which is an automation of Lambda + API Gateway + CloudFormation , and "Serverless Computing" which is basically an "event driven" , "pay per execution" , "auto scaling / self healing" architecture.
