Happened to my app[1] in the last couple of weeks. No big new features, it was just blocked for a minor update. So now, I lose control over the process and can't even refund the customer if they forget. And people won't try the app. People who try my app end up liking it, but needing to provide payment up front is a deal breaker for most. Moreover, technically it requires quite a bit of rework, as you need a user + IAP record together. And testing IAP is a huge PITA. I'm slightly encouraged to see this happen to a major app[2], to see if Apple responds or rethink this. It's terrible.
