"Requires"? Maybe. In a business setting, sure, $5/month should be nothing.
But for "let's play with this serverless stuff and maybe use it for something real in the future", $0 AWS lambda wins over $60/y Cloudflare workers. Or for hobby projects, doing it traditionally and running it on the $60/y VPS I already have instead of spending the money. And if asked later, CF is going to be the one I can't give a direct assessment of.
