I think we get a "S3 clone" about once every week or two on the Golang reddit.
It strikes me as a classic case of "we need all the interested people to pull in one project, not each start their own". AI may have made this worse then ever.

Every month there's a post of "I just want a simple S3 server" and every single one of them has a different definition of "simple". The moment any project overlaps between the use cases of two "simple S3" projects, they're no longer "simple" enough.
That's probably why hosted S3-like services will exist even if writing "simple" S3 servers is so easy. Everyone has a different opinion of what basic S3 usage is like and only the large providers/startups with business licensing can afford to set up a system that supports all of them.
And every few weeks in the cooking subreddit we get a new person talking about a new soup they made. Just think if we put all 1000 of those cooks in one kitchen with one pot, we'd end up with the best soup in the world.
Anyway, we already have "the one" project everyone can coalesce on, we have CephFS. If all the redditors actually hopped into one project, it would end up as an even more complex difficult to manage mess I believe.
Or like lodash custom builds.
