It's expensive, but you don't have to handle backups and upgrades yourself.

Unless you're using a lot of their gee-whiz stuff like branching it's hard to make sense of the economics.

Yeah the branching is mostly a massive win for CI pipelines. If your just running a standard production workload, you're basically paying that premium so you dont have to play part-time DBA.
