For $100 you get a precious _codesigning_ certificate, the equivalent cost more money on Windows because it's not organized by Microsoft but left to 3rd-party vendors that abuse their position.
Codesigning is essential for security.
- kranner 6y agoI actually argued that $100 is not a big hurdle, but now I feel I should ask why it can't be $10? SSL certificates used to cost a lot until LetsEncrypt made them free.
- p0nce 6y agoIIRC LetsEncrypt provide website certificates but not codesigning certificates. The entities giving codesigning cert need to verify you exist by checking an company index and phonecalling you. Apple makes it way easier on their platform.
