The price of a developer account? FOSS is a big enough giveaway as is, most people doesn’t like the idea of paying for giving away their own free time

This won't be solved by 3rd party stores. You need to buy a mac and pay the developer fee just to BUILD apps for iOS.

You don't need to pay a fee to develop an app, only to publish it

You can build them without a developer account, but then you will have to re-sign your own apps every 7 day and can only have 4 such app on your phone at a time.
