The worst part of this has not been mentioned:
>While broad-based open access publishing in the most well-known Nature subscription journals is not initially included, the deal commits Springer Nature and UC to a Nature open science pilot in 2021 and to the development of plans for a transformative agreement for all of the Nature journals to be implemented in 2022.
So for now this does seem not include Nature and likely neither the field specific Nature... (physics, photonics, materials...) journals. Which are the ones that are clearly interesting. This seems very similar to the typical deals from Elsevier, Springer... to include only sell bundles of journals with their high profile journals with lots of journals that nobody wants. Just in this case it's we include open access on all these journals that nobody cares about, but not in the view journals that everyone cares about.
