Shocker... they abandoned POSIX compatibility, built a massively over-complicated product, then failed to compete with things like Ceph on the metal side or ubiquitous S3/R2/B2 on the cloud side.

No, they rebranded to AIStor and are now selling to AI companies.

Minio is/was pretty solid product for places where rack of servers for Ceph wasn't an option (it does have quite a bit higher memory requirements), or you just need a bit of S3 (like we have small local instances that just run as build cache for CI/CD)

But that's not where money is

This is a wild sentence--how can you criticize them for abandoning POSIX support __and__ building a massively over-complicated product? Making a reliable POSIX system is inherently very complex.
