Signed binary
Signing the binary will prevent Windows to display the warning message from Microsoft SmartScreen saying this software is unknown and may not be safe.
A code signing certificate is not free. It's really expensive (like several hundreds euros a year). Certum is the cheapest Certification Authority (CA) I found for an open-source project. It's 25€/year (30€/year with taxes because I'm French) but it won't even remove the SmartScreen warning.
I'd need to pay 250$ minimum per year to remove the warning. It is way too much and I don't want to collect donation for this. This is really a racket.

The thing is there is now a completely new FOSS Signing Service called sigstore which looks amazing but it won't solve the SmartScreen warning issue.
(Can't run it on my locked down mac)
It's probably not because of that. Did your read the first entry of the FAQ?

Not worth it at all imo.

You said it; It's pretty much a scam.
