Keys from other stores aren't that bad. The rest of the changes, however, are more worrysome.

I wouldn't mind it if there was a choice on which store to redeem, but I suspect there won't be. For the months of June 2021 and August 2021 each had a game that could only be redeemed on GOG, even thought those two games (Disjunction and ENCODYA) were also available on Steam.

Humble might also transition to offer keys for their app.

And Epic would probably be willingly to pay to get EGS versions in there. To make matters worse when there was an EGS bundle you could only claim the games via direct activation, so if you already had the game or didn't want it you couldn't even give it away.

The decision to use one set of keys for one store over another has, probably, more to do with the publisher than Humble.

And if Humble uses keys for their own app/store, I fear many will lose interest in it.
