You don't need to pay anything to use Xcode to build and publish OS X applications. Why would this stimulate development? Why would someone say "well I wasn't going to develop this application for free but, now that they let me pay $99, I'm on board!" I doubt that official Apple support and forums are the main thing keeping people back from developing for OS X.

They're offering a lower price membership to ADC, which previously started at $500/yr.
