This has been possible for a long time. Yes, there are some hoops to jump through (7 day time limit per signing unless you pay), but to say it doesn’t allow you to run your own code is just wrong.

What code do you want to run that you can’t in any way? How is running that more important than the alternative?

Code that can generate new executable pages on the fly, code that can access the various databases on my phone, code that modifies how the system applications work…I think that's fairly important and useful, especially since the alternative is…you can't do that at all? What's the issue?
