Except it is just another piece of corporate silliness.

Why don’t you purchase your own developer account and sign it yourself if you trust it? Or are you saying them paying Apple $100/yr in perpetuity is what will make you trust it?

A signed executable isn't for trusting the app. It's for knowing the provenance of the app. Sure, there are some application checks that happen before listing a store app, but those checks are minimal.

Signing proves someone pays Apple $100/yr. The "provenance" you're getting is literally just the billing info.
