Thanks -- this is a relief. I hope it lasts though, I could see Apple deprecating this option in a few years, once most apps have adopted the newer terms.

I think Apple would prefer that nothing changes -- they make the new terms unappealing so nobody would choose them.
Nobody wil accept the new terms until the EU slaps the hammer on Apple once again.
‘Nobody’ is a large assumption. For developers with a consistently small download base, they can switch with little concern.

The consensus here seems to be that Apple don’t want anyone to switch. I’m not sure I fully buy into this, because most developers don’t have the size problem, so switching could be beneficial for them.
