Does this recall mean that FSD Beta won't be as widely & publicly available to anyone with FSD anymore?

No - the "recall" here is an OTA software update already scheduled for release. Availability remains exactly the same as far as I'm aware, and existing systems still function until updated.

FWIW, NHTSA "recalls" are often OTA software updates nowadays rather than something the vehicle or feature has to be taken off road for to fix or update. The NHTSA legislation from the 60s was drafted when cars didn't have software and any fix/"recall" likely required "recalling" the car to a shop for a mechanic to perform the change.

Does the OTA disable Beta though?

No, its literally just a scheduled OTA software update for anyone who has it installed.
