The judge is already leaning in the direction of monopoly, she sees no competition (and deliberate acts to block competition) to the App Store on the iPhone itself. Quoting her comments to Apple's counsel:

"There is no competition. The question is, without competition, where does the 30 percent (App Store commission) come from? Why isn't it 10? 20? How is the consumer benefiting from, you (Apple) get to say what you want it to be?" she asked.

The actual trial is not gonna happen any time soon, this is only for an emergency injunction to stop Apple from cutting Epic access to Apple Development tools. Watching the whole thing it's likely Fortnite will be off the App Store for the time being, and Epic will be able to continue to support Unreal Engine.

The major companies in Silicon Valley are already facing legislative scrutiny right now (Tim Apple testified in front of Congress a couple weeks ago and looked shocked at the revelations being thrown at him —I am guessing he will be firing a whole lot of people who must have known about that stuff, but forgot to mention it during their briefings). In addition, there are publicly announced anti-trust investigations underway by the Exexutive branch in US, EU, Russia and beyond. Sure there will be fines for past deeds, but they can shut it all down by allowing users to shop at any app store they want.
