There is no real catch, what EA is trying to achieve here, aside from the money they make from the subscriptions themselves, is that people buy more EA content digitally, since their margins are higher that way, that's why you get the percentages and the early access.
Also EA will obviously not put their newest games into the vault, they'll wait a couple months or longer until a game gets put in there, so every game that gets put in the vault will have either already reached EAs sales expectation or will have stopped selling.
Overall it's not like EA is having any real costs or risks they have to deal with here, one could even go as far as to call it a cash grab.
