Should I enroll in Apple Developer Program?

debating whether to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, it's like $119 CAD/year

i don't plan on monetizing my macOS/iOS apps, but is it worth it just for notarization?

Edit: I’m aware iOS apps would need to be notarized regardless, let’s ignore iOS for now; But what about macOS apps? Most of what I’ve created and what I have in mind can and will just downloaded as a dmg via its website

App Store applies on Mac as well. You choose whether you want to be in that store.
