I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Lame and takes effort. Honestly, I already have several windows keys (ebay hardware moment).

Jusz that win7 keys are worthless now and you'd need win10 keys

I even have keys from windows 11 computers. I don't use any of them (but also don't really want to share, as that could encourage Windows use), so it doesn't really matter.

I also tend to take friends old junk computers, and most people go through the upgrade of 7->10.
