What surprises me is that Apple does not make a distinction between commercial developers and open source developers, or any others that make only free apps. Both need to pay almost 100 bucks a year just to have the opportunity of publishing on the app store. It seems to me that in the vein of 'commoditize your complements', developers that only publish zero cost apps shouldn't pay an annual fee for the privilege of making Apple's ecosystem more valuable.
