Exactly, especially when the concept of filesystem really is defined before the whole internet scale becomes a thing or reality.

Maybe S3 isn't a filesystem according to this definition, but does it really matter to make it one? I doubt it. The Elastic Filesystem is also an AWS product, but you can't really work as one as you have locally, any folder over 20k files basically will timeout if you do a ls. Does it make EFS a filesystem or not?
