Yeah I don't like gatekeeping too but I don't think it's that bad that the dev kits on here are behind ranking up it's free. You don't have to pay for premium to get access or anything like that such as other copybot sites. It is a little hurdle. You just need to rank up to get Senior 100-199 posts. For me to get there it was like 2 weeks but I'm not the average person. I believe the dev kits access is behind ranking up so it isn't taken and shared on other sites. As well as it gives a sense of familiarity and community to this forum by being a contributing member. 

If you want access to freely available dev kits there is Kemono and Ruth and Roth dev kits that's how I first started.

TL;DR Don't be lazy just rank up it easy​​​​​​​
