Last year I bought the Nokia Lumia 520 because it was on sale. I've never taken it out of the box because I forgot what I am supposed to do with it!

So, since I have that, is there any point in my buying one of these $20 or $30 items for myself?

Of course, there are teenagers to buy for, but that's another question.
It depends on what your needs are. I picked up the LG Volt (Android) and the Nokia 520 (Windows) last year. The Volt is far more versatile than the Nokia because the Windows appstore is very weak when it comes to book related apps. So I use the Nokia mostly for music. Did I need it? No! But for $10, it's a great music player and I don't regret getting it. The Volt is my go to audio player.

So, do you need or want a streaming audio player (audiobooks, music, podcasts, etc)? If yes, then an Android no contract phone (NCP) is far more versatile than a Windows NCP.
