Description

aws_s3_bucket_object should be called aws_s3_object because:

1. "bucket" does not add information since every S3 object exists in a bucket: "S3 bucket object" does not convey more information or improve clarity over "S3 object"
2. Extraneous words are verbose
3. Removing "bucket" aligns the AWS provider with the API which never uses "bucket object"

All AWS SDK Go "object" operations none of which has "bucket object":

What about adding an aws_s3_object_version resource?
In a versioned S3 bucket aws_s3_object represents the latest version of the object and there are cases when it would be useful to manage a specific version.
One downside is that it will be confusing to have both aws_s3_object and aws_s3_object_version resources that potentially manage the same S3 object.
