+1 I am a small developer with a niche audience (firefighter training, simsushare.com) that has a cross-platform app. Most of my audience is Windows and iOS, but I do need Mac as well.
I don't really need Apple to help with marketing the app, so paying 30% on the Mac App store is way too much for me. On iOS, it is necessary because there is no alternative. Also, my simulation tool has an enterprise subscription, which means Apple can say yes or no and meddle with my business model. Too many restrictions!
Now Apple is saying I have to get my app notarized for Mojave. I don't quite understand why I have to do that in addition to the $99/year I pay for the Mac code sign. Bottom line is that I'm not making a killing by any means and Apple is hurting me by adding all the technical restrictions and financial constraints.
