In distributed or versioned storage, physical deletion causes data resurrection from replicas or versions that haven't seen the delete; both KV (tombstones) and S3 (delete markers) solve this by writing a deletion marker instead of removing data.
Both systems independently arrived at write-over-delete to prevent resurrection from unsynchronized replicas
