But, isn't that precisely what they want? Crush the developers who don't pay them signing fees, and give their software away? And of course they want to crush people who develop open-source even more, as everyone to compile the app would need to get it signed each time, correct?

... That actually sounds more plausible in writing than it did in my head. Maybe it's not a nutty conspiracy theory after all?
