The back tracking isn’t even a reversal. They just said they were going to keep the charges but try to reduce the impact of “install bombing”.
Comment on Unity backtracks slightly on plans to charge developers for game installs

What an interesting year. This has to be the 4th or 5th large tech-centric company that's
- introduced some really shitty policy
- pissed off it's consumers
- then backtracks to some degree after backlash
Just like every other company that's done this, the backtrack is likely meant to appease the consumers before the policy gets re-introduced later. Perhaps with slightly different wording.

Sounds like standard rent seeking capitalism to me: "Extract every dollar the market will bear."
