S3-compatible services lack advanced management APIs

7/10 High

S3-compatible storage solutions don't implement advanced management features like Bucket Website Hosting, Analytics, Inventory, Logging, Replication, and Tagging. This creates operational vendor lock-in even when application code is portable, forcing developers to build custom workarounds for features that S3 handles natively.
