S3 is a de facto standard supported by multiple vendors and open source technology. You can pick lots of other cloud vendors and use S3 there, or you can self-host S3. It's one of many AWS technologies that is not vendor-locked.

The only vendor lock-in would be the time/money it takes to copy your data out of S3, but that's the same for anywhere you store your data... even when self-hosting.
