the developer offers a more convenient way to install it in the EU via their own AltStore PAL for a tiny fee.

Having to install a 3rd party store isn't, at all, "more convenient" than having Delta on the App Store and buying it for 0.50€.

Even as much as calling the developers’ decision “bullshit” comes off as super entitled. They owe you nothing and get flak for it

You are right, it was a big exaggerated from my part, but still he was the one accepting the "new terms" that brings the CTF and that caused an inequality situation between US and EU users. As Apple says here developers can keep operating under the "old terms" and not be subject to the CTF - the downside is that he wouldn't be able to launch the AltStore under the same account.
