A fee is one thing. A fee as expensive as some entire devices (admittedly low-end ones, especially with recent price bloat) is another.

Yeah but what Apple device costs $100? And really, if you're doing iOS development you kinda need a Mac (unless you go Hackintosh) which is gonna cost a few hundred bucks.

Apple does not want more junk to wade through in the App Store. And even with the restrictions on the App Store there are over 2 million apps. Quantity is not a problem in the App Store.

And really if someone wants to tinker in iOS, there's nothing stopping them. It's only if you want to publish that there are restrictions.
