You're thinking of Aurora Serverless, but the typical Aurora customer isn't using the Serverless offering. Additionally, the original version of Aurora Serverless scaled to 0, but v2 doesn't.

Just wondering, why is that?

AWS Can't bill you on 0 usage.

Wouldn't RDS or EC2 be even less dynamic in terms of pricing?

A bit pricier, some companies have a steady load, scaling isn't instantaneous, etc.
