I believe the issues he is mentionning is the seemingly 'obscure' and convulted hoops you have to jump through. Security is of course very important, especially regarding the dissemination of malware.
However, security doesn't have to make you miserable as a developer, especially that MS desperately needs some apps to fill up it's 'shelves' on Win8.
In this case, if the flow of events and various milestones needed to sign up had been shown to the developer BEFORE he actually starts the process, it would save him many headaches and MS wouldn't seem like such an unwilling participant and making it's OWN platform looking so shoddy in the process.
