I am not saying it's a step backwards, but it is step backwards for open access. The data is ORCID will not be open access data. Access to ORCID data will essentially be limited to ORCID members. ORCID say there will be some dump of some data made available on an annual basis. That's not enough to build a service on the data that require bulk instantaneous access to the data.
