Why? It's major feature is full MySQL 5.6 compatibility. If anything this is probably one of the few Amazon AWS exclusive products that has zero lockin - next to options of say, DynamoDB.
But agreed, I'm excited by this. Have had really good experiences with MySQL on RDS so far - the auto-scale of storage and ability to add read replicas with near real time sync is very cool.
