You could use in-app payment to setup a subscription so that your customers pay annually. You can do this externally to the App Store as well now.

I mean, do most developers now ask their customers for an annual fee in exchange for keeping the app on the App Store

It depends on your business model. I mostly develop bespoke applications for customers.

If they want me to continue with maintenance of the app, I charge them an annual maintenance fee which includes the cost of Apple App Store fee, so Yes.
If the customer wants to do their own maintenance, then no.

The up front development cost usually includes transferring ownership of the source code.
