Yeah, this isn't a concession.

The only installations they could count would be those made after devs accepted the new terms and conditions.

Any installs before the announcement were already covered under a different TOS, whether unity wants to force a new TOS or not.

Plus, like you say, this is still retroactive. Any games made under the old TOS would be forced onto the new TOS for new installs or be kicked off the unity platform.
