No. They deliberately do this for gatekeeping. That's what I'd expect from a company forcing you to own a Mac in order to develop for iOS, by license terms.
If it's just technical issues Apple usually do have more helpful alternatives, for example you can only request password reset for your Apple ID on an Apple device (because they can throttle and potentially ban a threat actor trying to stuffing, I guess?), but they invite you to go to an Apple Store and use iPad in the store to do it if you happen to not have one.
