Time is an economic utility. Managing developer account(s) and licensing is a time sink to bad utility. Also dealing with the B2B sales department is also within that time sink. More friction to use a product for a prototype is also a bad utility.

Just look at the developer Subscription FAQ and there are a bunch of possible issues that one must spend time to work around. Loading CentOS is near frictionless.
