You're not missing anything. The coins are literally worthless other than to those who trade them on crypto exchanges, to steal each other's lunch money. Plus, launching an attack isn't just a case of paying $30 per hour. You need to have a client able to perform whatever your aim is for the attack, which requires a level of coding knowledge. And dev's at that level of knowledge are probably earning real money for their time.
