They wanted to showcase again that if you contribute to an open source project under a CLA, ie. the previous Rust plugin for Intellij, they will take your contributions, make them close source and sell them back to you.

They don't require CLA, since it's MIT license. So what they showcase is the benefit of copyleft.

Is this IDE going to make it impossible to install the Rust plugin in their other IDEs? Like is there anything preventing a user from continuing to use the Rust plugin and CLion after this has been released?

No. The plugin will continue to work, but JB will no longer release new features and bug fixes for it.
