Correct me if I am wrong, but if you enable this option when you make a droplet a popup comes up and tells you it will cost 20% of the droplet's fees per month. This isn't news to me as I don't use it because I have such a small amount that I pull it down to my own machine.

You are not wrong. What is newsworthy is that they are going to begin actually collecting that 20% which they have not been actually charging for in the past. This is more of a heads up for those that see an increase in their monthly bill/charge.
