It's an incentive to get people to subscribe. A marketing trick.
But why would I do that? I already paid for the game... why would I want Origin Access? I am not going to pay $30 for access just for 10 hours of early game time on a game I already own.

It's $5/month and you get a 10% discount, so it's actually cheaper to subscribe for one month and then buy the game with the discount.
$30 is for a whole year. You don't need that. If you subscribe and immediately cancel, you get charged $5 and get a month's worth of access.
