It’s up from $100 USD, which is the yearly fee of a developer account. And you can choose the now-existing model, which obviously makes sense for a free app, so no, it stays 100.

You're missing the point. The point of this legislation is to open the platform up to competition. These fees accomplish the exact opposite, they ensure that alternative marketplaces aren't viable for freemium apps, i.e. most of them.
