Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store

Genuine question: Do flight travel booking companies pay commission to Apple for any bookings made via App? If not, isn't this a differential treatment?

Or buying things in the Amazon app. Are they charged 30%?

Perhaps Epic could argue that their app is actually a shopping platform with game like features.

I'm sure there are many other apps that are free to sell products without paying a cut to Apple.

That would make it seem like this is targeting games and subscriptions.

IIRC Apple doesn’t require in-app purchases for “physical” goods. Obviously a JPG of a barcode that lets me on a plane or into a movie theater itself isn’t a physical good, but I guess it’s in service of one.

There are a couple of exceptions though for digital goods (I think Amazon has an exception for their Video service, but not Kindle. People rumor this was part of a deal to get Apple TV onto Amazon Fire products.)
