I know nothing about this (neither redis auth nor MS' work), but if I were managing the server products, I would want to make sure the redis authentication doesn't confuse users of my platform. MS has a pretty clear goal of making everything authenticate via ActiveDirectory. Keeping that consistent may be more than a five minute task.

But Redis's authentication is very simple in any case. There's a password. A password, one. That's it. There are no accounts, no usernames, there's no "infrastructure" or any way to hook it into LDAP or other insanity. There's no accounting. It's not for the kind of authentication ActiveDirectory does. In practice, it's more of an "Oops, did you really mean to connect to that server?" thing.
