Because it's a load of BS. You pay to be a developer these days just sign up pay your fee and your in. Not sure about way back in 2013. But now everyone is getting in on it. Im part of google and amazon. It aint hard. Easy money.
- Visit the Google Play Developer Console.
- Enter basic information about your developer identity — name, email address, and so on. You can modify this information later.
- Read and accept the Developer Distribution Agreement for your country or region. Note that apps and store listings that you publish on Google Play must comply with the Developer Program Policies and US export law.
- Pay a $25 USD registration fee using Google payments. If you don't have a Google payments account, you can quickly set one up during the process.
- When your registration is verified, you’ll be notified at the email address you entered during registration
This is all easily found via google. Of course if you want to scam the shit out of google then that's why you would pay for an account. Cloned fake apps etc only if you are crafty enough to get past verification of course.
