That applies to organizations that do volume licensing of Win10, I think. And/or are connected on a corporate “active directory” and all that stuff. So if that’s you, indeed you are correct, you can’t take advantage of ESU. Note I may not have the jargon correct, it’s been a couple decades since I was up to date on corporate Windows stuff.
If you just have a PC that is running off the shelf Win10 Pro that you happen to use “commercially” (like the laptop I use in my consulting, for example) you’re good to go.
Here’s what I’m wondering....

About 1/3 of the way down this page under “Windows 10 ESU prerequisites”, there is this line at the bottom....”If you’re an IT professional and need to enable ESU for your organisation, see Enable Extended Security Updates (ESU).” And if you click on that link, this is what opens up... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates
Does this not mean that I can simply purchase the ESUs for the Windows 10 (version 22H2) computers in my company? In the FAQ section, it says that the cost is $61/device and the cost doubles progressively for years 2 and 3. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/extended-security-updates#frequently-asked-questions
Am I missing something here?
