V1 never dies. You support it forever, including for customers who desperately want v2-only features but would rather escalate than migrate.

AWS has a privileged position compared to other deprecation struggles in the industry, though. They can price the v2 version aggressively/at a loss to incentivize migration without major bottom line impact.
And sure, v1 is forever, but between getting to the point where new accounts can’t use it without a special request (or grandfathered in sweetheart rates, though that might be a PR disaster) and incentivizing migration off for existing users could absolutely get s3v1 to the point where it could be staffed for maintenance mode rather than staffed as a flagship feature.
It’d take years, but is totally possible. Amazon knows this. If they’re not doing it, it’s because the costs don’t make sense for them.
