unless you're using an API that requires an entitlement, you can still get an apple developer account and sign whatever code you want and run it on your devices.

unless you're using an API that requires an entitlement, you can still get an apple developer account and sign whatever code you want and run it on your devices.
So if they don't give you an apple dev account, or close yours, you can't.
Case in point.
Did you just move the goalposts from “you can’t run arbitrary code today” to “hypothetically, in the future, Apple could prevent running arbitrary code”?
As with Google accounts, it's not hypothetical, it's a risk. People do occasionally get locked out of being an Apple developer for reasons they cannot foresee.

Anything that needs Apple to say "yes" before it runs is not "arbitrary."
