Affinity Studio now free

Many comments here that this "makes sense." Free does not make sense! If I'm not paying for it I'm not the customer anymore.

Yep. Your art is now their training data. Their AI subscription today comes at the cost of your job tomorrow.

Does this read in ToS somewhere? I know many professional artists and if they would find out that their work is used for training, the app is uninstalled faster than it takes time for you to read this text.

It says, on the actual website, the absolute opposite:

"Your content in Affinity isn’t used to train AI features — we can’t access local files. For content you choose to upload to Canva, you’re in control. You can review and update your preferences any time in Canva settings."

The only nuance I can think of here is that if you are using the cloud AI tools, you are uploading content. But it's largely hypocritical to complain about AI tools being trained on your content. They were trained on everyone else's.
