Correct. But you said:

That is an incorrect and harmful claim.

That is an issue. Your ongoing focus and negative insinuations and outright
claims ARE harmful. It is why he has asked you to stop and will likely never
speak to you again. And should not speak to you. YOU are the problem here, not
him. PLEASE stop.

On speaking of this app on the store you said it was to maintain his developer
status. It is directly above. Then you confused that with notarization.

Not in contention.

As I and others have said, and you show again, you say things and do things
that show even after years of "investigation" that you do not understand what
is happening. His app on the store does not change the fact EtreCheck is
notarized. No need for him to have an app on the store to notarize it.
Please leave him alone.

It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.
