Now, three quarters of spotify customers pay nothing. If Apple has their way the cheapest option will be $8.

If your streaming usage isn't enough to justify $8 a month, every month, the result will be no service. It also raises the bar for new users; no trying it free to see if you use it enough to justify the cost.
Furthermore, students (which I would guess is a very significant portion of Spotify's customers) get to pay 5$ instead of 10$ for the same subscription. I'm guessing this price tier will disappear if Apple gets their way.
