For context: Epic launched their lawsuit in August 2020, fighting the 30% cut, and less than 3 months later Apple lowered it to 15% for small businesses. Absolute coincidence, I'm sure.

If it's not in the ruling, it's their choice, maybe they read the room...
I guess that depends on your definition of "forced". In my recollection, the wave of bad press was so big that they really had no choice but to give ground.
Like I said, maybe they read the room...
