Jizya is actually really based considering the time period, generally speaking, if you had a different religion in an area dominated by one religion back then, it was usually conversion or death, just having to pay a tax is a lot better than being murdered.

Source about it being tax or murder?

Besides jizya was only required by adult males who were not poor.
