I'm a professional developer of Mac and iOS software, so I'm enlightened enough to just complain on my blog and then go about my business of making money, rather than throwing away my entire livelihood, especially in this economy.
That’s totally fine, but most people are not professional Mac and iOS developers, and most people who are have a company issued laptop.
My iOS apps are developed entirely on a Linux system leveraging cross platform frameworks, and App Store Connect is entirely web based. My build system is cloud based, I have never touched Xcode (one of the worst IDEs out there, with a rating below 4 stars on the App Store).
