What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence?

I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I'd take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.
Turns out, it's just a meal planner. And it's absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who'd the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That's like paying for a calendar app.

Microsoft Office and satellite radio.
I'm still waiting for a proper excel replacement. No, google sheets and libre office don't cut it. I literally have a copy of office 2019 that I have to finagle to install only that app and nothing else.
The funny thing is, after few years of using the Google Sheets, I can't go back to Excel, because it has some weird behaviours and some shitty UX that drives me crazy.
Of course I am not saying that you can even do 1/3 of what Excel can do, but for basic uses I find it much easier to use.
Oh for sure. Excel is hot garbage when it comes to UI. I really want a replacement so I don't have to rely on Microsoft. I use Libre Office for every other office app, and a more sane experience.
Why doesn't LibreOffice Calc do it for you?
It doesn't have the same level of formulas, VBA, and data set linking.
You still listen to the radio?
Rarely, yes. Mostly I listen to free podcasts and music that I've paid for or otherwise acquired once. I don't understand paying a subscription for a lower quality version of that. Maybe there are a few live programs that are only available on SiriusXM, but that's a tenuous value proposition.
