If you're not using this iron almost daily, the $30-50 ones will work perfectly fine, and I doubt that most people (as shown by the comments) use it frequently or heavily enough that they'd seriously need to spend much more cash on an iron like this.
I agree with the above poster who said that the disconnect is "learn to solder" and "$150". I think that this kit is better aimed at somebody who either: 1. already grabbed the crappy $10 iron off the wall of a hardware store and is starting to get into more serious electronics. Or 2. An engineer who's got equipment collected over the years of varying qualities but wants to upgrade a bit and not break the bank on "lab" quality stuff. But that's a small market, and it's a lot harder to word something for the drop that would get that across succinctly.
