If you're all fine with such draconian conditions, then I give up.
Please write a book (or a multimedia application, however you want to call it), using iBook Author. Put it into the Apple store. Create a complete company out of it that provides for your entire income. You would not be the first to do anything like that.
Then see what happens if Apple does not like you anymore for whatever reason.

And, again, I agree with all of that.
But the main audience for iBooks Author is firms who would otherwise be creating custom iOS apps to deliver their books instead.
So already have exactly those problems. They have already decided they are happy with that deal with the devil. For them, this is a simpler, quicker, cheaper way of creating content, with no additional downsides.
This is not intended to be a general-purpose ebook creation tool.
