They're just completely different tools.

The other day I was searching for a PDF I downloaded three years ago from a certain company.

Simply ran `find ~/Downloads -iname '<company-name>'` and it immediately popped up.

rg would not have helped me there. Even if I used something like rga, it would have taken significantly longer to parse the contents of every file in my home directory.
