I thought Crunchy Data Warehouse was their main product, looking at most of their marketing posts. What's the advantage of using their managed PostgreSQL offering on the cloud, compared to native offerings such as AWS RDS and GCP Cloud SQL?

1) built using an open source kubernetes operator, as I understand 2) Crunchy provides true superuser access and access to physical backups – that's huge

Business continuity. If you don't have access to your backups, there's nothing you can do to work around a vendor issue.
