> I believe the nesting shouldn’t affect it

It won't effect it, because there is no concept of nesting in an object storage engine like S3. Everything is a flat key that references an object, but we just abstract and conceptualize a directory structure because it makes it easier for us to manage our data.

But in reality you just have a really, really long list of keys and a big, flat file system of objects.
