Don't you have to re-upload the app every week as this article is complaining about?

There was a somewhat recent change that "on-device testing" only requires a regular Apple Id account (and you even get the privilege to report bugs for free to Apple! /s).

Only works for up to 8 apps per device installed at the same time (which sucks for my case because I have dozens of small demos to test).

But yeah, those "on device testing apps" expire pretty fast if I remember correctly (I mostly just debug on the simulator these days).

Also see (search for "Benefits and resources": https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/

That's very interesting, but holy crap they've made it difficult to find information about that. I cannot find any other references to this outside of the page you linked with the details.

Perhaps this is a "regulatory interference" play to say "hey look - we have a free version!"

Mine tend to get fixed or broken quicker than they expire.
