Description
### Describe the bug
`aws s3 cp s3://my-bucket/no/such/directory/ --recursive`
will always exit with error code 0 (success).
I'm not entirely sure if this should be considered a bug, but it was a surprise for me. Version
### Regression Issue
- [ ] Select this option if this issue appears to be a regression.
### Expected Behavior
`aws s3 cp` will return 1 if the object doesn't exist. I expected `--recursive` to do the same.
`aws s3 ls --recursive` will also return 1 on a prefix that doesn't exist.
### Current Behavior
returns 0 instead of 1
### Reproduction Steps
`aws --profile dprod s3 cp s3://noaa-goes16/ABI-L1b-RadC/2020/no/suc/dir/ . --recursive ; echo $?`
### Possible Solution
_No response_
### Additional Information/Context
This is part of a script that was supposed to fail if it couldn't download a file. Can be worked around by running `aws s3 ls` first, but that's a reason to consider it a bug maybe?
### CLI version used
2.28.24
### Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)
