This developer profile appeared on my Mac suddenly?

Got the same profile on my MacBook Air M1 running Big Sur 11.2.2. I updated to iMovie version 10.2.3 today, so I think that version may be the culprit.
I guess that explains why it is only showing up on my iMac and not my MacBook Pro. I don't have iMovie installed on my MBP.
Same thing here. But I've got another question - why is that profile there? Is there a problem with it? And google answers it:
"The profile and stray file shouldn’t be there, of course. These are normally used between developers and the App Store publishing process, and should be stripped out before the app is made available to the public. There’s no security or other issue here, and iMovie should still work perfectly well.
If you want to tidy this up, you can select the profile at the left of the Profiles pane and click on the – tool underneath to remove the profile. You’ll then be warned that this could prevent the app from running (it doesn’t), and then to authenticate for the removal. The profile will remain in the app, but it should vanish from the pane, and if you don’t have any other profiles installed, the whole pane will disappear again."
