Currently, it's impossible to find all resources of a specific type in storage without using wildcard search.
That can limit functionality on some back-end storages. For example, AWS S3 doesn't support a retention policy
with a wildcard in the file prefix condition.
Some of the platform users want to know the ResourceType of a particular object stored in back-end storage.
Storing that data with object metadata can help properly identify the ResourceType of the stored object.
