Why should I pay $300 to install/add a theme?
-
I have bought a wordpress theme. Now, when I want to install/upload my theme, it says, “To install themes you’ll need to: Upgrade to a Business plan.”
Is there a way to upload my theme and customize it for free?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Using third-party themes here does require a paid Business or eCommerce plan: https://wordpress.com/support/themes/uploading-setting-up-custom-themes/
With that said, we do have hundreds of themes available, no paid plan required: https://wordpress.com/themes

What if I do not install it, but host it somewhere? What is the benefit of installing the theme on wordpress while I bought the theme?

You will need to install a third-party theme on your site to use it on your site. Themes can’t be hosted elsewhere from the site.

Sorry if I bother you, but I want to understand:
Why should I install the theme on WordPress? To let people use my theme? or to use my theme and host it somewhere?
If I do not install my theme on WordPress, there is no way to customize and host my theme?
-
A theme must always be installed in the wordpress site it is used for. You can’t put a theme somewhere else on the internet.
-
To add to all of the above the theme you have purchased is incompatible with your free site here at WordPress.com. Here your choice of themes is found at https://wordpress.com/themes
If you must use that particular theme without spending $300 here then you’ll need to build a site somewhere else where you might find annual costs to be less than $300.
