Because of Epic now iOS users have more payment options (including the Platinum Apple with included Apple tax and protections), more options are good (except if you suffer of a brain illness that makes you unable to chose and have to always use a coin)

No they don't, the only difference is that developers can now tell their users that they can pay on a different website.

The Netflix app never had an Apple payment method. The first screen is the login screen with no way to sign up at all and no explanation how or where to do it.

Netflix for several years allowed you to sign up on the front page of the App, giving apple a percentage of subscription revenue.
So now you might get a link to Netflix website and some text, as a user lost nothing.
