I've seen this sort of analogy before and I don't think it's the right one here: if I get a Ferrari, I know _exactly_ what I'm getting. I'm getting a really fast, really beautiful car.
I'm not too familiar with Snowflake, but I've suffered under Databricks on and off for about a decade now, and as far as I can tell, it's just a more expensive, closed way to do what I could do a lot faster and a lot easier if I didn't have to work around the obstacles that Databricks puts in my way that don't have any value other than being something that Databricks can charge my employer a ton of money for putting in my way.
