and? the developer whats to put his apps on the app store, why shouldn't they demand a fee. But that has nothing to do with the customer.

Because you can't distribute apps, or even install them on your own phone, without going through the app store. (At least sans the ridiculous restrictions I described above.)

FWIW I don’t consider those particular requirements to be ridiculous.

I do consider to be ridiculous the requirement for me, a British national living in Germany, to keep the US Federal government informed about my use of encryption in all the apps I distribute on the App Store. That’s clearly nonsensical.
