"Registration requires an Apple developer license."

Hmm, not the open web I'm familiar with.

That's a way for Apple to avoid abuse. Same thing like google requiring you to put an extension in the chrome store to enable screen capture.
One does not have to pay to publish a chrome extension.
Yes, you do have to pay to publish chrome web store. Only $5 though: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/publish
Not having to pay does not make it 'open' either, but I see your point.
