If the "AOPP integration" part it's just going to be an "optional feature" from Trezor's side, I don't see it as a bad thing...
I think this quote from their recent blog post answers your question:

Although this protocol was useful for some of our customers and has no effect on anyone else, it is also in no way essential since it was built on top of an existing tool.

They changed their mind. But they are contracting themselves.
Contradicting?

First they say that they are against regulations such as AOPP.
...
But a few lines later, they say that they discussed that subject for almost a year with no opposition, and they did not expected any  Huh
...
How come you didn't expect any opposition if you are against this kind of regulation in the first place? The opposition should have come from inside
I see it as give the people what they want. More precisely, give them what they need if they are from Switzerland. This might be just a PR stunt from Trezor saying we are good guys, and we did it for your benefit. Or it might be true that they introduced it because they thought some people could find it useful, and the rest (those who aren't affected) wouldn't care. Seeing the negative comments that came with the AOPP Integration, they changed their mind.
