So its for reverse engineering it only? They can't restrict creating a translation layer if no reverse engineering is involved right?

No idea, I'm not from the US and don't know the laws beyond what I have previously looked up. Here in Estonia you can make the translation layer without accepting any EULA and even if you did it wouldn't be legally binding. You can alse reverse engineer anything you want.
