The issue with this is that you buy your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch with the informed decision that the kindle/B&N app will work properly on it. If Apple really goes through with this change in policy, the app may no longer work. This is a big deal and essentially amounts to Apple taking money from you if the device has functionality pulled from you after purchasing.
