Nonprofits are explicitly exempted from the fees. An fdroid like app store seems quite possible.

I’d still need to get Apple’s approval to use NFC in an app I’d want to deploy on the non-existent fdroid analogue. I’d still need to pay for that.

Not with the Core Technology Fee, nor with the Apple app review process standing in the way. These are severe restrictions that prevent something like FDroid from being operated on iOS.
