I think you need someone to run and optimize the data warehouse in any case -- figuring out data exports to BQ, table partitioning, etc don't really come for free. Perhaps BQ is easier in that you don't have to figure out how to run and scale a Redshift cluster, but as a BQ user, I do a decent amount of work mucking around with the schemas and figuring out how to do things more performantly or cheaply.
