After running Snowflake in production for 5+ years I would rather have my data on something like Parquet/Iceberg (which Snowflake fully supports...) than in the table format Snowflake has.

Ok. And this flexibility is only really possible since they did a lot of work to make external and internal tables roughly equivalent in performance.
