As I understand this, no app developer is forced to change to the new terms:

> New Business Terms for Apps in the EU

Also today, Apple is sharing new business terms available for developers’ apps in the European Union. Developers can choose to adopt these new business terms, or stay on Apple’s existing terms. Developers must adopt the new business terms for EU apps to use the new capabilities for alternative distribution or alternative payment processing.

Well, duh, it's designed to keep every app with reach bound to the Apple App Store.
