Do AppleID requires credit card to dev on the platform in any way (xcode)

You don't require a credit card to develop, you require a credit card for publish.

well back in my day I had to have apple id to download xcode first time I used a mac

I have a Mac set up at work for CI testing with no Apple ID or payment associated with it. Can’t use the App Store but I don’t need to for the C/C++ build tools and anything from homebrew. Updates install without issue.
