What about an OSS app like Darktable (which beats the sh*t out of Lightroom, in many use cases)?
None of the devs has an Apple Developer account and not one of them, understandably, is prepared to churn out the 99 USD just to be able to sign the OS X flavor of their app:

Shouldn't a kick-ass app like Darktable be easily deployable by anyone, not just those who know how to circumvent the 'walled garden'?
If it's really that good (I've never tried it), then surely a couple users would be willing to donate a few bucks for it to be signed (especially seeing as lightroom costs what, $150?). $99 isn't quite pocket change, but it's not big money either.
Reading the link, it seems like (some of) the devs have philosophical objections to doing that; fine. But philosophical objections aren't the same as "it can't be done".
