Hydrocarbon resistant materials used to manufactured gasket is not all that cheap. RTV is used to reduce cost for the automakers- in fact not only in the automotive industry, pretty much anywhere else that needs temp sealing.
If however you plan on sealing your oil pan permanently, then a quality gasket applies quite well and recommended.
Cost man :/
