But that only applies to apps that have a lower target than Android 6, right?

Yes, but it could have been solved with a warning.

Once there are some fundamental changes in the Android framework, these old apps will actually become incompatible. So Google wants to prepare their users for that scenario, and force devs to update their apps.
