At the risk of being pedantic, to enroll in KU a book has to be in KDP Select, and books are put into KDP Select for 90 days at a time. So, if the indie decides that it was a very bad idea, they'll have to wait up to 3 months. That's not a huge amount of time, but it's not "at a moment's notice" either
Otherwise I agree that there are enough differences between KU and Pandora/Spotify/etc that it won't necessarily be as bad a deal for authors as they are for musicians. I think we'll have to wait for a definite answer to that question.
