I'm really sorry, I usually respect your opinion, and I really want to keep it this way. But this is FUD and conspiracy theory level of thinking. You've convinced yourself of a narrative and are literally grasping at straws to try and make the reality fit that narrative.
Reality: Even *if* they were trying to push for an App Store solution, wtf, do you really think the way they would go at it is "add a bypassable warning when downloading bins that have never been seen on the internet"? Look at Apple for how companies with that aim operate.

Apple wants to push an App Store on MacOS, so they: 1. Started requiring developer registration, annual fee, and code signing. Years ago. 2. Started mandating binaries pre-upload (notarization) and stamping by Apple. Why would Microsoft follow such a long winded road?!

You've also convinced yourself that it's a "they want us to pay, to take a fee!" Reality: code signing doesn't help the problems you've been having. All sources on the internet say so, and you've told me before you're doing it basically to feel like you're doing something.
