The parent post is factually false. The $99/year developer account fee is not a prerequisite for notarizing macOS apps.

  While you are right, it is adding an extra hurdle that is obviously trying to stride dev toward the store. "Hey, you can have your software notirized (which we might not accept), people will be warned before opening the app and some other bs or you can pay us 99$ and stop worrying!"

    Please limit your criticism to what Apple is actually doing, not what your imagination speculates they might do in future.

      I am criticising what they are doing now. Which is making everything harder if you don't go through the App Store, and they have been doing it for a while now. It's the same they are doing with their hardware and everything (you can't repair it yourself because "quality") so I can't really see them doing anything different.

    You are implying that notarized apps will still not just run normally after this change. I believe that is false.
