Will be exciting to see what adaptations are needed and how performance and cost changes for delta lake and iceberg and other cloud mutable data storage formats. It could be really dramatic!

S3 is often used as a lowest common denominator, and a lot of the features of azure and gcs aren’t leveraged by libraries and formats that try to be cross platform so only want to expose features that are available everywhere.

If these days all object stores do append then perhaps all the data storage formats and libs can start leveraging it?
