This is an ridiculous and blatantly hostile move, esp. considering the fact that most EU countries don't even have that policy for their own ccTLD. EU has nothing to win here and this doesn't benefit the .eu domain.
rules can change, even temporarily. the UK will probably join in some future agreement with the EU. it could even be part of a brexit deal. the EU already offers this exemption to EEA members
Sure; if and when the rules change, I'm sure a new update will be issued. But that doesn't change the fact that this is a straightforward application of the existing rules, which were approved long before Brexit.

This is not a move. This is just an application of the rules that have always applied to .eu domains to the new situation.
The rules of ccTLDs of member countries are completely irrelevant.
