This is fantastic. But why a reduction in Apple’s fee for AppStore distributed apps? I hope the rates drop to these globally.

Likely because they anticipate increased competition to the App Store now, and want to pre-empt the attractiveness for developers of moving to the Epic Store or the Facebook Store etc.

I couldn't figure it out -- is it? Payment is now a separate extra 3% and there's the new core technology fee.

Maybe somebody more familiar with the details can explain. It's hard to compare when the structures are different like that.
