The reason for this is because with the NOW system they are using old refurushed cable modem/routers which they are providing to you. If you ever cancel the service you don't need to return the equipment.
I don't know for sure but I think Xfinity had tons of old cable modems/routers since they have upgraded their equipment. They also needed a basic internet service so that's how they came up with the NOW system. I'm not saying it's bad, just interesting to know the details. It seems $30 is about the lowest price for basic internet right now.
I agree, if you can get the fixed wireless service from T-Mobile or Verizon, that may be a better way to go for the long term.
