What happened to sending out a notice to customers some time in advance of such a decision being made company policy? There is another word for such action as that. It's called common courtesy.

Amazon couldn't send out an advance notice, since they're doing their customers the courtesy of allowing them to retain access to files already uploaded. Advance notice would just have meant that people uploaded everything they could lay their hands on, before the change. An advance notice would only have been necessary if it said, "Move 'em or lose 'em." There's nothing immoral about a company's pricing people out of their market, especially for quasi-luxury items. Amazon's under no compulsion to subsidize people's data storage.
I'm no Amazon apologist, but I don't see the issue here.
