They were allowed to move out of H1B visa to EAD status (non-visa legal status). The same legal status DACA recipients got from Obama administration. So, technically nothing was changed to the H1B rule.

Broadly speaking, this is allowed now, no? There is a route to an EAD for H1B holders (and various advantages and disadvantages to each).

80% of the H1B holders today are from India. And they cannot reach that step; because the wait time to reach there (485-EAD) is 70+ years.
