Honestly I don't see most of the indie companies keep working with Unity unless they have no choice. Even if they roll it back, who's to say that they won't do that again next year?
The fact that they count you retroactively for eligibility means they want to try and rake as much money as possible.
unless you click 'agree' again, the old contract applies. The new contract has no sway unless you sign it.
This is a far more nuanced situation, but even in what you're describing the service is then ceased, you don't get to continue using the service on the previous terms.
