Idk I remember people on Reddit talking about how there are lots of barriers for profiting off porn. Only fans was in some kinda grey area. Payment processers was one of the big ones I remember. I don't remember the details exactly but I have been thinking that something like this would happen to only fans initially just my reasoning for that came so long ago that I don't quite remember why I felt that way.

They're basically gonna ban most sex work. Nudity is fine, but any content with "sexually explicit conduct" is banned.
They're going to release more details soon, but they seem to want to get an app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, both of which explicitly exclude any distribution of pornographic material. It's why Patreon and Tumblr both banned that content.

Using f-droid seems easier than scuttling your business model.

I agree. Hell, they could have even released a proprietary android app that you download via their website directly. A few other adult oriented platforms do that already.
Seems to be yet another example of an internet platform exploiting sex workers and immediately throwing them under the bus after sex workers make the platform viable.

It sounds kinda ridiculous but it was inevitable. Only fans was a website skirting the line that many couldn't believe that it lasted as long as it did.
