That being said, these boosters do have some good cards for Commander, but I think that the best thing about them is that they're a way to start learning and playing Magic immediately. Essentially, you and your opponent each get 2 booster packs, open them up and shuffle them together to make your decks. Each jumpstart booster pack contains 20 cards that revolve around a theme and color, they also include lands (which are required in almost any deck) so you can start playing immediately.
If you got Play boosters (standard booster packs, previously called draft boosters) then you would get maybe 1 or 2 random colored lands and a random assortment of cards. Even if you grab more lands separately, it'll take about 6 packs to make a cohesive deck and you'd have to already have a good idea of how the cards synergize in order to make something at least moderately competitive/fun.
Jumpstart is by far the fastest way to get into playing Magic physical cards. If you want to learn how to play Magic in general, I would recommend trying out Magic Arena which is a casual digital format of Magic which uses the same mechanics (not to be confused with Magic Online which is a paid service). Arena will teach you the basics and allow you to learn the game without having to keep track of all statuses, effects, life totals, interactions, etc that make Magic confusing for new players. While it's technically free to play and there are a lot of people who play and don't spend any money, there are a lot of paid aspects of it including entering into tournaments or opening packs to get specific cards. I never got into it, but nearly everyone that I know who plays Magic either started with Arena or started playing Arena shortly after playing in-person for the first time.
If you have friends that play Magic and have been looking for a way to get into it, and if $90 isn't out of your holiday gift budget, I would buy it and as a gift ask your friends to teach you how to play.
