I was kinda hoping this would just be a simplistic API on top of actual S3 so I get the benefits of both.

Interesting you mention this. That was the first approach. The problem comes when you want to introduce missing features to S3. Like tokens, or file filtering.

I didn't realise there were extra features s3 doesn't have, I thought it was just a simplification.

Couldn't presigned URLs work like tokens? And can't you do filtering with s3 select?

It's been a while since I did anything complicated, or much at all with s3 so I am not claiming to be any authority. Just curious!
