Snowflake is provided as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that runs completely on cloud infrastructure. This means that all three layers of Snowflake’s architecture (storage, compute, and cloud services) are deployed and managed entirely on a selected cloud platform.
In addition, Snowflake’s virtual warehouses and cloud
services layers are similarly deployed across three availability zones in a region.
I would assume it's because each account in an organization can be deployed in a separate cloud service provider

On each platform, Snowflake provides one or more regions where the account is provisioned.
If your organization’s other cloud services are already hosted on one of these platforms, you can choose to host all your Snowflake accounts on the same platform. However, you can also choose to host your accounts on a different platform.
This whitepaper has the following: The Snowflake
deployment extends across three availability zones.
