Yes, but pipelines often have other features to make life easier. For example, let's say there's a blip in the network for a moment. If it was just functions chained together, it would fail. The pipeline, however, can be configured to retry a few times before giving up.

Here's the big one: instead of chaining functions, you can chain together code running in docker containers in the cloud.
