Eh. S3 is easily replaced by Wasabi. And less easily by minio.

Wasabi has an important 'gotcha': they charge you for a minimum of 90 days of retention, even if you delete an object seconds after creating it.
https://wasabi.com/paygo-pricing-faq/#minimum-storage-durati...
That detail isn't mentioned anywhere on their pricing page or cost comparison calculator: https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/
I don't find that pricing objectionable on its own, but I'm wary of shopping with a vendor that advertises price as their main selling point, but buries such a potentially costly pricing detail.
Damn that’s cheap on wasabi. No egress fees! Thanks for pointing this one out.
Do note that wasabi is aimed for long-term retention of cold data. There's no egress, but there is a fair usage policy (2x data stored IIRC).

I use it for live data, but I put it behind BunnyCDN. I serve a few terabytes per month using that setup, no problem.
Most real world uses that I’m aware of follow the 80/20 rule, meaning you’ll store much more than you serve. And your hot paths are quickly cached by a CDN.
