I wonder if Apple has any regrets about its battle with Epic... Seems like they could have been a great launch partner for the Vision Pro...

They aren’t the only game studio. If Apple rolled over on Epic, it would lead to their entire revenue model around the App Store falling apart.
Also, Epic claim they were not willing to accept a deal that was just for them.
Definitely not the only, but certainly the one most capable of building a scalable virtual world.
Apple, while being a hardware and (somewhat) software leader, has been in "let them eat cake" mode for quite some time.

Corporate leadership needs to start understanding that once they've saturated the market they need to loosen up or they're at risk of becoming a populist target.
