What's your logic here for this not being terrible?

That's not what they said.

There are so, so many shitty things about Apple’s implementation here, but this isn’t one. I believe the EU should blast Apple as hard as legally possible for the rest of their implementation which is intentionally terrible.)

Ah, I thought you meant something else. I'm pretty sure their logic is that apps that don't make a profit would be probably exempt, though as others said, devs aren't necessarily NGOs.
