S3 is a paid service though. They can’t just go mess around with their customer data. Most enterprises demand really strong protections (especially due to things like GDPR)
And most S3 buckets aren’t accessed directly by the user. If the files are being deleted the webserver in front will know that and won’t try to serve them anymore.
I totally agree enshittification is a thing but it’s more something that applies to business to consumer stuff than business to business. And S3 is squarely in the latter category.
If Amazon would replace the content of our work’s S3 buckets with ads we will be on azure a few days later for sure. And there will probably be a heavy lawsuit coming.

Ah, yeah, microsoft, the other one of the first three companies that’ll try to do this.
(They’re already messing with windows and 365, also paid products, so they’ll end up messing with azure too sooner rather than later.)
Sure, and the EU will probably fine them into not doing it here, if we haven’t kicked them out and replaced them with something local yet.
The rest of the world will probably be screwed, though.
But no, seriously, I do envy your faith in humanity.
Treasure it. It won’t last, tragically.
