Cost is the most common reason I’ve seen. An RDS instance is about 1/2 the cost of Redshift per CPU and then Snowflake is slightly more expensive than Redshift (often worth the extra $$).
Also, if you’re dealing with less than 10GB of data the difference in performance will be barely noticeable, so at modest scale the most cost effective solution is RDS.
