If you want to develop apps for Windows you have to get around their smart screen which is particularly difficult to do if you are not well known. I don't think Apple should charge so much because it doesn't cost them that but it is a good thing that they have some sort of mechanism for connecting the original authors to the built software. Follow the money and you find the source.
