Every one of the things you list as unimportant, someone else lists as a mandatory requirement. And that’s why S3 won. No one uses everything it does, but everyone uses a different 10%.
- stingraycharles 4y agoI 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.
- diroussel 4y agoIt 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.
