I have the original Sun and Moon games, never got very far in either. But then comes along Ultra. What even is it? Is it an upgrade with extra content? Is it the same story? Is it worth getting if I already have the originals?

Absolutely not. If you beat Sun & Moon, you'll know they bring up the idea of alternate universes. Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's story is basically that.

US/UM is an unrushed version of S/M, different story included.

I never finished Sun, so the upgraded versions were probably an attempt to get more money out of me

It is much less interesting than it sounds.

USUM is basically the third version game for Gen 7. Slightly different story, couple of new features, etc. So in that sense it's basically like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, etc. But I guess Game Freak wasn't content with just having a single third version like before so they made two. I guess they were making up for never doing a Pokmon Z in Gen 6.

S/M do have the better story and characters, though. Lusamine in US/UM can't hold a candle to S/M Lusamine.
Without truth, there is nothing.

It's the concept of a third version, they just split it into two to make more money. So there's a lot of QoL changes, a few little extra areas, a major change for the story's climax, and an extra post game story that was really cool.

Less rushed, anyway. They still skipped the clearly intended golfer girl's segment.
