If you don't pay the rent-seeking Apple tax, there are severe restrictions for iOS:
• You can only install on a very limited number of devices, and the HW IDs are kept by Apple, so installing from a different Mac won't help. It's tied to your developer ID, indefinitely. They don't mention that in the “On-device testing” bullet point.
• Your app install will only work for a week. After that, you have to reinstall because some certificate timed out.
Nota bene, this is for local installs, no AppStore involved. Yet they bully you into paying rent just so you can run your own app on your own devices.
