In practice it mostly affect studio making over 1M in sales per year. The download fee only occur on pro users past that threshold. The fee is so ridiculous that they're basically forcing devs to get pro, but that was kinda already a thing anyway. For studios malong over 1M a year, well they gotta pay up unfortunately. Unfortunately 1M per year ins't that much for a middle-sized studio, but small studio are barely affected by this change.

Free (Personal) and Plus users also have to pay, and their threshold is lower than for Pro/Enterprise users: 200k lifetime downloads and 200k dollars earned in the past year, vs 1million for the pro.
