The yearly subscription is for publishing your app on Apple’s store and definitely helps keep some garbage out. Running your own app on your own device is basically solved with free third party solutions now (see AltStore and since a newer method I can’t recall atm)

Those are only available in the EU, and Apple has been huffing and puffing even here.
Notice that parent never talked about publishing apps, just building and running apps on their own device. "Publishing on AltStore" (or permanently running the app on your own device in any other way) still requires a $100/year subscription as far as I'm aware.
