Yes. That decision to continue to support is costing them a ton of money every day. The older API is very expensive, This is also why backblaze originally did not add a S3 compatibility layer.[1] This is exactly the kind of commitment I expect from Microsoft or Amazon, it is why enterprises pay premium for a product. In a similar situation I imagine Google would have just sent a note and with a window of few months and shutdown the old API. Great for innovation and keeping your tech cutting edge, not so much for the customers who are not as agile as they and can only move slowly if at all.
