Now answer MY questions.
1.Why if this Apple policy change is so deadly to the booksellers, have the booksellers not objected to the change?
2. What really is the true value of an app that is really a storefront through which the seller can potentially make millions of dollars.

For a great many people using things like kindle or nook, it doesn't matter where they buy it, they are buying the convenience of the whole buy once and read anywhere that has little to do with apple beyond them currently being part of that anywhere until they force these companies out in order to free up the market for the lacklustre and horribly restricted ibooks.
The problem with this ongoing claim of yours that the app is a storefront overlooks the obvious point that these rules would seem to prevent companies like amazon from simply removing the purchase option completely from the app and leave it as purely a reading app compatible with kindle books.
