Your joking right? Nothing apple does is preventing any of that

In fact, the FTC sued Apple for the exact same thing (microtransaction for children). The only difference is that Epic immediately took remediation steps and shared them publicly with other stores when they were sued.
Apple managed to screw up Facebook’s data gathering. So they are definitely hurt Epic’s ability to do so too.

Epic having its own store front means they can use dark patterns there too.

Apple is limiting the worst of these companies’ behaviors.
