I think I’m completely fine with Apple doing this.

It’s a clear violation of the TOS and Epic clearly knows that. They likely also knew well before making the update and perhaps thought Apple would bluff and only threaten a take down. Platforms aren’t free.

Why would Epic have a heavily produced video and lawsuit ready if they thought Apple would bluff?

You always have a plan B.
