The different seems clear to me. Amazon wants to be the publisher, and take rights exclusively. Apple wants to be the distributor, but also offer a tool to format your content. That tool is not to be used commercially outside of the iBook Store but you can use other tools to publish to Apple or use other tools and their tools simultaneously and sell everywhere.
Everyone who wants to use KDP select is stuck. Everyone who wants to use the iBook store has options. Everyone who wants to use Apple's new (free) tool has to abide by the rules... Or just use something else. Those who hate the EULA should just use another ebook creation tool. They can still use Apple as a distributor.
