I see, your gripe is having to be a part of the Apple developer program to develop for iOS. A 10+ years stale debate.

  No, my issue is with the fact that even with a developer program account you cannot compile and run code directly on your device.

    This is news to me as an iOS developer. I wonder what I’ve been doing all this time.

      Compiling code on your computer and then transferring it to your device?

    Sure you can. With a developer account nothing is stopping you from running a compiler on your device. You don’t need root or jailbreak to run a compiler. As other poster alluded to. It’s not the difficulty, it’s that given the environment of the iPad, there isn’t a compelling use case.
