Technically I think it's possible to install whatever you want: as part of the developer program, you can pay the dev fees (which you might not care about, if you also don't care about the cut) and run whatever you want to build, and my understanding is that you can install binaries off-app-store with enterprise certificates. It's just a lot more tightly controlled.

Having to compile the software yourself (then periodically recompile when the license expires) is way too big (small?) of a hoop to jump through imo

You can actually sideload to iOS without a developer account these days.

You don’t need to pay anything to use the Dev Tools. You need to pay to distribute on the App Store. You can develop and put on your own device.
