Good for you you have so much disposable income. Many hobby devs such as myself aren't so lucky, which is one reason why I don't make Apple apps.
Go talk to some random people and ask them how much they spend on their hobbies, I bet you won't find many people who have a hobby that costs less than $100/year. It's a damn cheap hobby.
That's probably a good thing. I don't think we need more apps made by amateurs in the app store.
What the hell is this condescending, elitist, gatekeeping nonsense? $100 is a lot of money for some people. Hell, in some countries, that's a sizeable chunk of someone's monthly salary. We should be encouraging and supporting developers from all backgrounds, not just ones that are middle/upper class from developed countries.
In countries like Georgia and Syria, the minimum annual wage is below $100.
