Yep.

If you can't avoid Apple's stores then make damn sure you fall in line as they effectively own you.

You can choose to distribute outside of the Mac App Store on macOS.

What about on iOS? And what about the fact that on MacOs notarization is more expensive than publishing to the store? I don't believe that to be a coincidence

Notarization is free.

Creating a Developer ID certificate requires a paid Apple account. Hardly free.

I think only a distribution certificate requires a paid account.

Now you've thrown me a curveball. I will have to test. I think last time I looked, Developer ID is considered a distribution certificate and requires payment.

I'll admit I haven't tried this personally, either; I've just heard that it's possible.
