  Though don't underestimate the number that gets a developer account to get macOS/iOS beta versions. There are public betas now, but the developer portal gets them faster (and more frequently).

    Doesn't matter why they do it as long as they pay the $100/year surely?

      Not all developer accounts are paid though, there's a free tier

      The money is barely a drop in the bucket for Apple. I was more hinting at that this inflates the number of developers, since a chunk of them are actually people who pay to get early beta access.
