$30 is approximately 1/3rd of the price of an official OEM copy of Windows. For only one year of updates, that is a terrible value. It also doesn't solve the problem that people have, which is the artificial system requirements that restrict their perfectly-running PCs from upgrading to Windows 11. So even if these people decide to spend $30 and wait one year later, they will still have a PC that will not have updates. I have heard that there are private companies that are willing to provide their own Windows security for a fee. If MS doesn't get this right, users may use these companies instead.
