100$ steam upload fee

am i the only one that absolutely hates this? as a person from another country, and a hobby game developer this amount of money is just astronomical, i could easily get a month worth of food with that lol, i really wish it was free or just cheaper that it is currently, people say "ohh but you get the 100$ back once you earn enough money from the game", what if my game is completely free? what if i don't plan on adding any in-app purchases and just making it completely free, that 100$ most of the time just goes to mud
