I'm in the same boat, I've gotten my money's worth out of HB/GB over the years so losing my key while frustrating did not mean I lost money directly. I'm a pretty small developer with a few simple profiles. I only needed 1 key to be able to develop for the store and the community. I didn't mind the cut from the store, as it's a way for me to may a little side money as well and not get scammed. That being said, I can't continue to develop without a key, and I am not in a place where I really feel it's worth the time, effort, or money to buy another. I actually like developing profiles, but lately with the numerous ban waves and having to buy WoW keys to keep up, I can't sustain that upkeep and therefore cannot continue to develop. Unless they implement some sort of free version or an option for developers as suggested above I won't be developing anymore. On top of all that I feel pretty uncomfortable supporting a company that pulls this kind of behavior on it's customers. I do support the botting community, and maybe this is a sign to move on from HB to look at other options but I don't think people should take these actions lightly.

Keys are part of the daily work of store devs and com devs, why would you not simply ask for X sessions, which is the way we do since 2009 ?
