I think it's just what Alan is saying: if you're familiar with regexp,
it's easier to write them directly. Each of us has a different level of
familiarity, thus each of us has a different point at which we might
break off and use rx. A regexp that would make my eyes cross (with
"\\(\\(\\(") could be perfectly comprehensible to someone else.
Personally, I'd use rx with more than two nested layers of
group-capture, but that's only me.
