Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.
VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

RDP for Windows comes built in. VNC has a really fast install on Linux. There’s no reason not to use them and loan your remote sessions to a third party company.

And you should not ever expose RDP or VNC to the Internet, every, for any reason, for any length of time, whatsoever.

RDP is for pro version only, and plenty of people get home version by default. There are better options, but I want to clarify that.

RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.

RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.
