Developers boasting 300—500k total comps who are greedy to spend 100 bucks a year on their tools is freaking insane to me, man.
How much does gas cost for truck drivers?

It's also not 'spending 100 dollars on their tools', it's spending $100 yearly to upload your app to the app store. You have to spend money on tools on top of that.
Truck drivers get their gas costs reimbursed. If they wouldn't, I'm sure that would complain about gas prices as well.
Only if they’re working for a boss. If you’re a starting independent truck driver, you pay for your own gas.
I would think iOS developers are in the same boat.
In what world do you live in, exactly? Plenty of FANG engineers don't get paid a fraction of that. If you dare gaze away from your belly button and, say, outside the US borders, there are plenty of developers who barely earn 20k pre-tax.
