Except I am not an user, I'm a developer, hence no EULA infringement. You might want to take a second look at their EULA for their Apple developer ID and you'll see that for those $100/year they sing a very different song. Money talks!

No, it's still prohibited. From Apple's terms for devs[0]: "You agree not to install, use or run the Apple SDKs on any non-Apple-branded computer, and not to install, use or run iOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, macOS and Provisioning Profiles on or in connection with devices other than Apple-branded products, or to enable others to do so."

Except I am not an user, I'm a developer, hence no EULA infringement. IANAL, but it doesn't work like that. Like any original creative work, macOS falls under copyright protection. Apple only gives you a licenses you to copy/run macOS on Apple-branded hardware. You might want to take a second look at their EULA for their Apple developer ID I don't see anything in the Apple Developer Agreement that would cancel the terms of the macOS EULA. But I'd love to be proven wrong, please give me a pointer. you'll see that for those $100/year they sing a very different song. Money talks! $100/year is less than pocket change for Apple. Even if they have a million paying developers (unlikely), it's ~1/3658th of their yearly revenue. If they'd make their iPhones 50 cents more expensive, they would make more money. The $100 per year is only there as one of the many ways to fight scammers. It makes it more costly to open many accounts, they have a credit card (with a name) on file, etc. Sure, it is not air tight, but it is just one of many measures.
