Can Macie be leveraged to find S3 file type distribution?

Question

My S3 environment has several thousand buckets, spread across multiple lines of business.  Does there exist a way to leverage Macie to catalog (and aggregate) file type distribution across the total S3 environment?  Looking for a semi-easy way to determine how much of our content Macie is not able to scan due to file type incompatibilities.
Looking for something more granular than classifiable/not classifiable.

Another method will be to leverage a sensitive data discovery job in Macie. This job detects and reports all sensitive data in all s3 buckets in your account. When configuring the data discovery job, you can define the type of data type to a sensitive job. By doing this, Macie is able to detect both structured and unstructured data types.

Probably the easiest way is to run S3 inventory report and analyse it with Athena
