That is definitely not true for every app. There was never any clause in the App Store guidelines that you must provide traditional email signup. At least this way, the social-only apps will be forced to provide you a more privacy-preserving alternative, and for ones that don't use social logins anyway, nothing changes.
Of course, my comment was related to the app of the post Groups specifically
Which used to offer both social sign-up (FB and Google) and a traditional email sign-up option
You probably don't know that in this case, Groups was also forced to include AppleID or risk being removed from the App Store
Removing all social logins from this point to ensure compliance would have definitely affected all users who had originally signed in with FB/Google, way before AppleID ever existed

Yet it would have been more consistent! What is the point of going to war against Apple while embracing the private-data-broker model at the same time?
Just send a warning e-mail requiring password change because you decided to remove all social login as a protest.
And provide a password reset mechanism for formerly social-login users that haven't defined a password in time.
