Those look like compostable bags.
OXO products are usually quite high quality in my experience so I could see using this item for a long time.
I have some OXO mixing bowls that I've used for around a decade, and OXO utensils that are going on 6+ years.
I'm new to the world of composting, but what are you supposed to do with stuff once it's full?
Do I need a compost bin for outdoors too? I live in the city, so I can't just throw it in the garden. I would attract every rodent

Yes, you would need a compost pile outside, to do the actual composting.
I've had this product for about 6 years now. I wouldn't say the MSRP $38 is outrageous, but like most OXO products (and I own/have own a bunch) it's more than I would want to pay. For $25 it's a good buy if you compost regularly.
I don't use bags, I have no idea why anyone would for compost (just put it in the composter and rinse it out?) but the actual bin is well designed, it doesn't stink even if it's been over a week and everything is fuzzy and breaking down (because it lets in air) it fully disassembles without any little parts to lose, the body is dishwasher safe though I just hit with some bleach and rinse it out. It's not like it needs to be really clean to hold onto compost waste.
I like that it's almost 2 gallons because that's about as much as I will put in there in a week before emptying it.
About the plastic concerns, it's made of polypropylene, which is a BPA free, chemically resistant, heat tolerant, and food safe plastic which is the same material reusable storage containers, yogurt and butter tubs, prescription medicine bottles, and the inside of aluminum cans and canned food cans are coated with, etc.
I'm not saying if you avoid plastics completely you're wrong to do so, but if you are trying to avoid plastic here and but don't otherwise avoid plastic food contact by not using a plastic cutting board (much worse than using a plastic composter), eating anything that comes in a plastic tub, aluminum can, or canned food, you are not changing anything in your life by using this tub for composting because all of those are polypropylene. And compostable bags, though I do not use them, are made out of inedible starches or cellulose that has been plasticized, not petrochemical plastics. They don't break down nearly as quickly as they like to say, but they're not "plastic" and do eventually decompose.
