Without writing a novel, there are really two questions:
1. brushed vs. brushless
2. Do you want to be in the Ryobi ecosystem
For (1), I'm personally a fairly average Dad. I fix/break things around the house, assemble furniture, etc. If I'm using a tool, 95% of the time it's a drill or a driver. I have both brushed and brushless, and it really doesn't matter for the type of stuff I do. I don't even really need 4ah batteries. Driving a bunch of screws into a bunk bed set leaves me at 4 bars of power still. I would bet that most people starting out with tools are about the same.
For (2), I think Ryobi is good. I personally went with Ridgid because of the lifetime warranty on the batteries, but if I could do it again I think I'd start with Ryobi. There are just so many tools, from standard stuff to weird shit like glue guns to garage door openers.
The quality if Ryobi is also good enough. Depending on the tool, I think that contractors will use Milwaukee or Makita. People whose parents read them "Rich Dad Poor Dad" will use DeWalt. After that, you have a whole sea of options that are close- Ridgid and Ryobi at Home Depot, Hart at Walmart now, Kobalt and Craftsman at Lowe's, etc. All of those are fine. Then you have Harbor Freight tier, which are also probably fine-ish, but there you have the concern that the brand will just stop existing someday and your entire collection will be obsolete.
Most casual users will never wear out a set of brushes in a tool. For folks interested in paying ~$100 for a set of tools, brushed is still the norm.
Brushless is nice, and a bit more powerful, but a lot more expensive. It's more Chevy vs Cadillac than NiCad vs Lithium.

I got a similar kit with the saw last year and not sure what the saw is good for. Until 2 months ago when I had to replaced an old rusted aluminum shed in my yard. All the screw was rusted and stripped. I look at my tool chest and saw my brand new saw in the plastic wrapping. So next thing I know, I am cutting the 8 ft by 10 ft shed into pieces with that saw on a 4ah battery. Otherwise, it will be a major headache taking down the shed. It practically paid for itself after that use.
Companies generally don't make brushed tools anymore. I'd put the money towards a brushless kit

Obviously, this is almost 2x the OP's deal's price. The OP's deal is good if you want to start cheap. I'm responding specifically to the other post with the brushless starter kit. :-)
