Snowflake legit has some features Redshift doesn't, the killer one IMO being auto scaling for computing resources. That is really awesome for infrequent workloads. Last week AWS uncovered Redshift Serverless, but still on technical preview. Another point, Snowflake is just easier to use. I've seen young developers who knew a bit of database stuff setup and play with it with little help. Redshift on the other hand is much more entrenched in the whole AWS mess and requires one to understand shit like VPCs, security groups, IAM, cloud watch, etc....
