Getting past Gatekeeper on macOS is roughly the cost of a $100/yr developer program certificate and rigging up notarization support into your build pipeline. SmartScreen is way worse - from the grumblings I've heard it basically doesn't care all that much about code signing. Even if it did, code signing on Windows is more expensive than it is on macOS. There's constant reports of Free Software developers of niche software packages getting their new releases stopped by SmartScreen and then Microsoft manually approving it. It runs on some fuzzy logic/ML nonsense so even Microsoft themselves doesn't entirely know why SmartScreen is constantly flagging Free Software developers.
