They lowered prices as part of a calculated stunt. If Apple is suddenly turning over 20% of the purchase price to devs, why would the devs lower the price when they're getting an extra 20% at the same price point?

This is the correct take. Generally speaking, the prices set by Epic before this stunt likely approximated the highest price which didn't reduce aggregate spending.
