I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "stifle"?

Fortnite is a clear example of a success story of competition on the iOS platform. Epic has been making tons of money (billions in profit) for years thanks for Fortnite and in some part to iOS and the AppStore.

This current battle between Epic and Apple is about profit sharing and that's all. Have you seen the number of successful games on the iOS platform? Competition is thriving! But I do agree both companies are greedy.
