> That we should punish success?

That is a great bullshit whataboutism argument.

Nobody speaks about punishing success here.

Apple and Google de facto Monopoly on the app store gives them a 30% tax on everything that wants to live on the mobile ecosystem.

This is the problem here. And this is what Epic was fighting against.



Epic couldn’t point to any new “abusive” behaviour between when Apple was a ~1% market share minnow to when they became a ~50% market share behemoth. This is critical. Antitrust is the abuse of monopoly power. In order to abuse a monopoly, you need to have abused your monopoly.
