The damage that has been caused was created by Epic's breaking of the rules. If they had followed the contract they signed, their app would be in the store and earning money. They knowingly created this problem.

They "could no longer make any money" because of their own actions. Apple did not make them break the contract. I think we will see them lose big in the courts. Public opinion is a different matter of course.

Thus you think their fight has no merits and you pretty much explained why they did this.

If their case has merit, then the contract is null and void, thus no breach happened and they'll get back on the shop and everyone's win.

If they lose the case, then now the public, including law makers, has a better understanding of the impact of this kind of policies, which in the longer term may means some changes will happens around monopoly laws.
