Can someone explain the advantage of this?

If I want S3 access, I can just use NPM

If I don't want S3 access, I don't want it integrated into my runtime

    Would you rather use an officially maintained solution or some random package by a random author who might abandon the project (or worse)?

      The S3 packages on NPM are maintained by AWS

        Indeed but I was arguing about a general point.

        I'd be surprised if any of your Node projects had less than 100 total deps of which a large number will be maintained by a single person.

        See Express for example. 66 total deps with 26 deps relying on a single maintainer.

        But even in the case of the official aws-sdk they recently deprecated v2. I now need to update all my not-so-old Node projects to work with the newer version. Probably wouldn't have happened if I had used Bun's S3 client.
