What's wrong with the USGS or Landsat data portals?


Resolution is the main factor. Landsat is ~15m, DigitalGlobe is ~0.5m


Landsat is 30m.

There is also Sentinel2 (which is 10m) that can be used commercially.

Obviously DigitalGlobe (and recently Planet) do better with <1m resolution but it seems to be more expensive and (sub)licensing might be non-trivial (at least they are vague in pricing details).
