There are people who have tighter budgets than you, to whom 30EUR means more or is harder to come by. When I bought my first camera $10.00 made a difference. Now I spend $10.00 on a cup of coffee and a croissant.
Years ago Pentax offered a Spotmatic 500 - only difference between it and a regular Spotmatic was the top shutter speed. The price difference was not very much, but it made a big enough difference to some people that they bought the 500 instead. You can't judge or guess the needs of others only by your standards and those in your socio-economic group.
