How does this feature impact users with disabilities? Long presses already seem a little iffy in this area - especially in applications where the long press needs to be nearly still for it to register (I've seen this pretty often). I'm also not sure how blind users would be able to make use of verbs that are only accessible via 3D touch. At least with press/long press you're just performing that verb on a particular screen region (that could be identified by a name).
It seems like carefully controlling the strength of your touch - or for that matter, pressing hard at all - could be outside of the capabilities of some disabled users. I've got slightly poor control over my hands and that already makes it rather difficult to use some mobile apps and games.
