Developer accounts are not free. Of course $99 is not a problem for Epic or most game developers, but please be accurate.

The developer tools are free for anyone with a free developer account. Submitting apps to the store requires a paid developer account.

Again, there's no such thing as a free developer account.

Anyone with an Apple ID — which is not a developer account — can download Xcode from the App Store. However, this version of Xcode does not support prerelease versions such as iOS 14 and macOS 11, so it's not adequate for professional purposes.

Downloading Xcode at least used to require enrolling your Apple ID as a developer. I stand corrected if it doesn't now.
