Even centrally signing every app doesn't justify a fee. There's virtually no cost in doing so. Mozilla does it for all Firefox extensions just fine.

The rules are in place solely to lock in free apps to the official App Store. The EU is just going to have to tell Apple to deal with it. Apple is acting like it has to verify and sign every app that runs on its platform and therefore it justifies the fees. The EU just needs to force Apple to allow unsigned apps to run and then its not a problem.
