I'm not expecting anything. I don't use your software. But since you commented in a discussion for a project where I hold a leadership role, I took the time to respond.
To be clear: Apple's Developer Program is not "doxxing". Choosing to register under a public Developer ID for software distribution is not remotely the same as having private information exposed against one's will. Calling it "doxxing" is hyperbolic and misleading, and continuing to frame it that way feels deliberately disingenuous.
I don't disagree that the requirements are burdensome, especially for FOSS projects. I'd also prefer a more equitable, privacy-respecting model. But I don't work for Apple. I have a day job, and I help maintain Homebrew. My only intent was to gently encourage you to do your macOS users a favor by letting them know FreeTube will not keep working on the macOS platform.
Whether or not you choose to provide signed builds is entirely your prerogative. But framing that choice as victimization is a disservice to your users, and diminishes the very real harm of actual doxxing.
