There's a bit more too it than that.  Nagios XI does include a number of
free projects packaged together, including Nagios Core, pnp4nagios,
NagiosQL, and MRTG, and for some people there's value in having that
pre-packaged, but that's not the prime selling point.  The bigger issues
are things like the configuration wizards, easier configuration of
contacts and contact methods, the ability to build custom dashboards,
autodiscovery, expanded management-friendly reporting and
visualizations, and some other pre-built integration pieces.

On a related note though, we are working on something to better
demonstrate the capabilities of the free components like pnp4nagios, so
people can see what's possible with each and find out about some of the
cool community projects that are out there.  You should see more about
that in our newsletter and on Twitter soon.
