Makes sense — every S3 call is high latency so the fewer you make the better.

Prefetching would help reduce the number of those high latency calls which databases naturally make.

We often think of S3 as a file system but it isn’t one — it differs in fundamental ways from one. (Also treating it as a filesystem isn’t performant at all — I tried s3fs and mountpoint but both were slow)
