I don’t think S3 won because of its protocol, but rather being the first in its kind and dominating the market. Then other vendors started competing products, and to easy transition, implemented (parts of) the S3 protocol.

It won because it was the first, but also because it’s API was designed to be cloned. Being cloned was a success criteria for the the S3 team.

I read that somewhere recently. I don’t have a source to hand.

Personally I this the API is ok, but if they did designer it to be cloned, they could have done it slightly better.
