Is it logical for AWS to offer RDS over K8s?

Logical for AWS or logical for their customers? Frankly probably not either way. RDS excels due to it deep integration with AWS proprietory block store. If you want your data in PVs RDS dose not offer enough, if you want you data on RDS then K8S scheduling wouldn't add much.

they already do in a way through aws-service-operator and replacement aws controllers for kubernetes (ACK)

The ACK operator runs in k8s, but I'm pretty sure RDS instances created via ACK will still run natively in AWS.

ACK is a just a k8s native mechanism for defining the resource and managing its config/state.

More a replacement for Cloudformation or terraform.
