I think you're completely missing the point.

The problem is not access to the SDK, the problem is that Apple is locking down their platform to competitors. They can't sell apps or content without giving a commission to the "gate keeper" Apple.

Epic is not one of the biggest device manufacturers. And Microsoft is definitively not locking out third party developers from Windows. Everyone can just sell Windows applications without paying Microsoft a dime. Windows is even fully open to PWAs, with the Edge browser from Microsoft or any other third party browser.

Again. There isn't a single court or government that has said this is not permitted.

Including the EU.

False, that's exactly what the Digital Markets Act is about.

Apple is trying to circumvent it right now with those new fees, and I think this won't hold in court.
