Why would you use a DB or Redis for job queuing when there are extremely inexpensive and highly optimized queuing systems in every major cloud provider?

I've had so many horrible experiences with DB-based queuing over my career once you get to a certain scale. Just use a message bus, bro!

Some folks are not using the cloud for everything. Portability may be an issue too.

Some kind of message bus implementation (RabbitMQ etc...) should be a must-have even in an on-premise environment. Queues are a very useful tool in almost every conceivable non-trivial software application.
