"Access to macOS and Windows releases are currently restricted to sponsors, a 5 USD monthly sponsorship is required."

Really scummy on their part.

You should be able to build from source yourself to get a Windows version, although the process looks like a pain in the ass.

Curse whoever floated the idea to lock releases behind paywalls. We should not encourage this behavior.

Do not give them your money.

we also have to pay for a Apple developer account for signed macOS releases

Sounds like you should blame Apple, not the dev.

They also don't have to sign it.

Maybe I've just used MacOS so long that I'm out of touch, but installing unsigned applications is effectively a mild annoyance.
