It is indeed worth it, especially if you're prone to drop your device or you often let children play with it.

If the question was "Should you get Apple Care + then I would advise the following:

1. Yes, if it's financially feasible
2. Yes, if you're prone to drop your device or you often let kids play with it.
3. Not really, if you have a backup device.
4. No if you don't think you need it.

I think you math is off-
“a display repair on a 15 Pro Max costs $379 without AppleCare+ versus $29 with AppleCare+”

The cost of screen repair with AppleCare+ is $29 plus ~$100 a year.

The cost of NOT breaking your screen with AppleCare+ ~$100 a year.

For this article to be meaningful, you need to know the chance of breaking your phone in order to calculate the true expected cost.
