heres some 'truths' from someone who has worked in
and led teams developing very complex large software apps..
(in industry...not music..)...

..it is very difficult in complex software to build an app
that someone doesnt complain about.
particularly apps like Realband...rb (and bb) due to the fact
that such apps arent simple for even the best developers
with years of experience...
this isnt like coding up a 100 line app....
they are huge challenges due to the fact that rb (and bb)
are choc full of features in response to user requests..
youll notice there are no competitors
for either rb (or bb) on the market.
(BECAUSE THESE ARE VERY VERY COMPLEX APPS !)
..as such due to the plethora of features in rb (and bb)
if a new or existing user isnt willing to go through manuals
and vids they will find it 'tough sledding' due to the depths
of features. there is only so much a developer can do.
in addition some people just dont want to learn another app.
(just human nature....do you like doing dishes ?..lol.)

given the above however if one is willing to get 'stuck in'
there are lots of great usefull features in rb that arent
in bb or any app ive ever seen.
let me say both rb and bb have their plusses and minuses.
see this thread re differences...and when might consider
rb over bb...

https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=859938#Post859938

in summary the user that learns both rb and bb will realise
a very powerfull song creation solution.
i basically use bb for quickly laying down song ideas and then
for the detailed work rb.
in many respects they complement each other...like a marriage.

fyi...there is a thread from folks that like rb on these forums.
i'm very busy so maybe someone can find it.
bottom line...if one doesnt use rb one misses various capabilities.
eg fractional tempos...detailed editing of audio/midi tracks..
rb handling 48 k projects...seeing visually in rb tracks view
odd time sigs divisions within a bar and many other features.
rb has various features not in bb.

happiness.

TL;DR

Something useful would be a list of all features in BIAB one should avoid if they plan to move their song to RB. Does such a list exist? And if your response is RTM then kindly tell me where in the manual this list exists. This would be truly useful info to have.
