Free apps were already pretty unsustainable in iOS to begin with given the $99 yearly developer fee :/

And since they almost force using a Mac to develop such app.

And the cost to own apple hardware (that is not exactly cheap, even 2nd hand)

Maybe it is just me, but I paid only 50€ for late 16 macbook and got late 13 for free. Ssd and memory upgrades were about 100€ (dumpster ram) and both run ventura and sonoma (OCLP) without a hitch. And both work perfectly for programming and such.
