S3 is not made for you. It's made for entities that need to store millions of objects, with thousands of different rules, reading/writing from hundreds of machines without coordination, and with consistent, low latency. Now that some software use that as a storage layer, having an implementation for you is useful

No, it's made for entities managing data for thousands/millions of people. “overengineering" implies a specific scope, it's not the one you think about
