This seems fair. Although Epic should separate its Unreal business from Fortnite to avoid these in the future.

It's already separately under Epic Games International, S.a.r.l (“Epic International”).

It was under a different agreement from the regular "Epic Games" that Apple decided to both terminate

You have to remember Epic has planned this all pretty carefully from the start.

They benefit from being able to play the "if you ban us, you also ban all of the little mom & pop game developers" sympathy card.

That sounds like Epic abusing its “monopoly”[0] on game engines.

[0] in the same sense that Apple is a monopoly on smartphones, hence the air-quotes.
