I'm surprised this wasn't already the case, how did patreon get an exception in the first place? I don't know anything about how apple billing with patreon works but the way this sounds is that patreon's "Legacy Billing" somehow allows creators to get around the 30% fee that is normally standard to anything on apple, and the means to enable/disable this feature is entirely in the hands of individual creators rather than patreon or apple, weird.
