Unity is going to charge for installations of games using their engine

Do they seriously think that mobile gaming companies won't also simply shift their unity engine to another one after the deal they announced ?

It'll be fun to review how this new policy will have affected them after a full year of this idiocy

For some reason they seem somewhat confident that mobile devs will still rely heavily on ads paying for the fees, and that they see consoles/pc as the ones not to care about if they leave, but there is nothing to stop mobile devs from doing the same and simply pulling away from Unity.

It's just daft that an engine maker views two thirds of it's consumer base as "pointless/non important", when you consider just how many games come out on both platforms using their engine, and the uproar this has caused and erupted from devs on those two platforms (if this was from mobile devs only, we'd know about it by now, but this mostly stems from those making games for console/PC).
