I think the main benefit would be for people already running on EC2/AWS. I would imagine (but don't know) that you'd get better latency and throughput between an EC2 instance an elasticache instance than between an EC2 instance and a hosted redis provider.
Also worth pointing out: if you're running on AWS, you'd get integration with your existing tooling like CloudWatch, VPCs, etc.
And last but not least, Amazon is a mature company that you can be confident will be around another 5 years. I don't have that same level of confidence with the majority of Redis-as-a-service providers.
