Apple absolutely competes with Epic. Mobile in general and iOS in particular are massive markets, both player base and profit wise, for gaming.

On iOS apple has decreed that they deserve 30% of that action. And is now banning the developer of one of the most popular games (on any platform).

By that definition every app developer is a competitor.

And Apple is basically a trillion dollar company. Tens of millions in lost revenue from Epic isn’t going to cause them to lose any sleep at night.

In a sense, yes. The term "sherlocked (by Apple)" exists because Apple routinely releases its own version of various apps

It's not about these tens of million, it's about control over all of the money, and about control of everything on the device more broadly.
