My point is that (I suspect) people aren't unhappy about this because it
seems unfair per se, but because it's a change.

Imagine if B&N allowed indie publishers to set up tables in their stores,
and sell their books there, but required them to give the store a 30% cut,
and to agree not to sell their books anywhere else for a lower price. That
doesn't seem unfair at all -- but if they announced this as a new policy,
after previously allowing indie publishers to set up tables for free, not
charging anything, and allowing them to sell wherever else they wanted
without restrictions, it would seem like a big change for the worse.
