how so

Apps can use other payment methods for digital goods, effective immediately. And no cut given to Apple.

There are implementation details to figure out, but this reduces friction considerably.

Looks like a very limited thing, apple still plan to take a cut, and will limit how and where links to exterior payment mechanisms can be used. Reading that through it doesn't look like it enables zaps.

i had the same thought, but still maybe worth a shot

Not exactly. Apple isn't allowed to tell app devs where they can and can't put purchase links. You can make the IAP non-existent from a user standpoint.
