Well for one it makes it a lot easier to have a duplicate local environment (i.e., not on AWS) to test on before pushing changes into your production environment (on AWS). It also helps prevent vendor lock-in. I'll stick to managing my own database instances.

It’s Postgres. You use the same drivers, same commands, etc.

Their is nothing special you do to support Postgres RDS.

Postgres RDS limits you to only the extensions they make available to you. That alone can be enough to turn off some people.
