You need an apple developer account to publish apps on the app store

Normally I'd say that's fine (the store hoster should decide what's there) but it's my understanding Apple actively opposite the existence of alternative app stores. Can they host it elsewhere now?

Anecdotally Apple make it very hard to even post an app but that's neither here nor there.

They can put it on another App Store in the EU, but only if it’s approved by apple and they pay apple 50 cents per download

That sounds like par for the course in the US but the kind of thing that the EU would have a law against.

Yep they do, but it's going to take a few years for the courts to rule in this one since that stupid fee came in like a month ago
