I have no problems with this. Notarizing your app is trivial and takes just a few minutes. As a user I want to know who actually produced an app and ensure it wasn’t tampered with.

It looks like you have to have a paid Apple developer account to do it.

Which is a complete non-issue. It’s $99 / year, basically a symbolic amount just high enough to prevent spammers from making a billion accounts.

It’s absolutely an issue for hobby level open source projects.

It’s $99 a year. I wish my hobbies were that cheap.
