No idea. Looks like a legally grey area to me. Coercive behavior perhaps.
If I have signed a valid VST2 contract I don't think Steinberg has any rights to cancel due to VST3 licensing.
Lawyer advice is welcome here

Doesn't VST3 have a dual license, the GPL one and the proprietary one and only the latter requires to sign the license agreement with Steinberg? (But obviously I am not a lawyer.)
If you release your plugin under the GPL, you don't need to sign an agreement. If you don't want to release your plugin source code, you need to sign their agreement to get a license.
Twas hoping,being not Cubase, it would be later than it seems now
