That's great to see. Audible is one of the very few services I pay for even knowing how bad it is to reward its creators. Whenever I can, I try to look for an alternative but ultimately audible just has everything.
So even if there's still much to be done and not a trustworthy company, it's good to at least see some improvement.
Also kudos to Sanderson, he gets a lot of flak on the snobbish reading circles but not everyone would have done what he did. He's got a heavy position in the industry and used it for the benefit of many others.
I usually buy my audiobooks on https://libro.fm/. They do not have everything but most of what I read is on there (I might be lucky).
This way I can also support my local library.
Libro also let's you attribute some fraction of your purchase/sub to a local bookstore.
