Agreed! There is an Idea you can vote on at the link below to help get the attention needed to impliment this new feature request. In the mean time, you can change the Type for the User(s) that connects to Snowflake from PowerBI to a "LEGACY_SERVICE" Type, which buys us some more time for Microsoft to (hopefully!) add key pair auth for the Snowflake connector. IIRC users with LEGACY_SERVICE can still use username/password authentication without MFA until November 2025
