The important highlight is that Sign in with Apple allows somewhat anonymous login. So Apple can argue it is requiring everyone to support a more privacy-friendly login option.

They are not....
They could have said, if your app has social network log in, must support a more anonymous way as well.... and not must support Apple's login service..... which might/might not be good for users....

If you look at the rules, that is exactly what they are doing. If you provide a form of 3rd party login that isn’t the following things: (...list of sign ins that are all not the kind of “Sign in with Facebook / Google”, you are exempt.
So it seems pretty targeted:apps that provide FB or Google sign in must also provide Apple sign in, which has an anonymous option.
As a user I’m loving this. Worrysome use of AppStore power aside...
