Sure but if you want full transparency you don't use Snowflake. They never sold themselves as that.

I wouldn't buy a Ferrari and complain about lack of trunk space.

I'm not complaining, of course. It's just an observation. Snowflake is very similar to Oracle in that respect, which is not surprising given where the founders came from.

Personally I think Snowflake is very impressive on the things they optimize for, which includes complex queries on enterprise data sources. The same could be said for BigQuery.
