It's 20¢ per install max so even if that policy is literal it isn't quite that extreme. But I do wonder if they'll have a policy for someone downloading repeatedly. I have my browser disk cache disabled so I wonder if it's actually literal in terms of install/initialization or if it's more about having some kind of Unity tracker cookie that identifies users.
It isn't extreme until you realize it forces game companies to collect and share a bunch of ~~monetizable personal data~~ sorry "telemetry" from their users, and will probably preclude installing games offline.
I think they've already been doing that for some time.
