iOS 18.1 has enabled more and deeper integrations: You can now essentially write your own, custom-logic SE applications, and more use cases are available than before. But all of that is still gated behind a ton of requirements, most importantly a required third-party lab certification [1]. I haven't found anything regarding pricing (but I'd be willing to bet it still doesn't come cheap), but even just the public requirements make this a no-go for hobbyist projects, unlike Android's HCE.
