In my experience Snowflake is very receptive to enhancement requests. If you feel Snowflake should be doing something better for surfacing optimizations, I'd ask them.

That said, I'm not sure your comment is fully accurate: 1) "lack of query level attribution of costs" Snowflake doesn't charge per query so there can't be default query level attribution of cost. Snowflake charges by second of warehouse use. But you CAN easily see which queries ran on which warehouse and allocate costs back to that using your own criteria (by query second, usually better than by number of queries). 2) "no in-built features for monitoring" Snowflake has built in cost monitoring dashboards: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/cost-overview.html And resource monitors: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/resource-monitors.h...

That said, I'm sure improvements could be made. Ask for them. There must be a market for this because Capital One and Acceldata and others offer similar solutions for optimization recommendations.
