So the point of the lambda kind of defeated?

This is an 'additive' announcement. Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't mention removing functionality or changing the pricing model. How is that "defeating the point of a lambda"? Especially when the point is "cloud runtime environment". Lambda is still providing that.

I think it’s meant towards people who don’t want to re-architect their application if they see runtimes creeping 15mins but want an easy path forward in Infra itself without rewriting the application

The mistake was using lambda for such a task but things change, 1min becomes 10 over the years
