I don't understand why people think Apple should be forced to allow Fortnite back on their store. It's like saying Amazon should be forced to sell a product by companies that try to rip them off and break all their rules constantly so they can sue them.
Epic aren't a good company. Apple aren't a good company. Neither of them however should be forced to allow products on their store that they don't want to.
A valid point, the main issue at hand is that the iPhone is locked down to Apple’s approved store - you can’t just install things like a regular computer. That’s really the core of the lawsuit regarding the insane 30% cut Apple forces on their mobile computing platform.
