So this is not 100% correct.

I'm a MAC user, on current MAC hardware and I run quite a few tools that are opensource and come from developers who do not have an apple certificate. (Syncterm is an example :)

If you want your software in the MAC store - sure, you do need a cert, and that costs you $99(?) a year. But thats not the only way you can run stuff on your MAC.

I actually like it - it means that the app store is not overloaded with crap -
you actually put some effort to get stuff there.
