This feels like a strong signal that either

- this app won't see much adoption and will eventually fall out of maintenance, or

- the developers are going to be a pain in the ass to work with,

or both.

thats pretty unfair to the devs. You need a Developer ID through Apple, a mac, and you need to pay. Thats kind of a ridiculous expectation to begin with. Two of those things can be solved with money (a significant amount of money mind you, for the purpose of releasing a single application) and Apple can arbitrarily make the Dev ID process arduous and painful.
