Rent seeking on things you find immoral?

> Perhaps Epic didn't want to abide by these rules and used the fees as a cover?

Is this something Apple has alleged? Because otherwise it looks like you're speculating wildly to appeal to emotion. "It's ok because maybe they're bad people."

That's not even an argument. It seems you're commenting in bad faith trying to trap me in some linguistical mistake.

I did say perhaps which, last I checked, is a sign of a rhetorical thought.

Apple is not perfect, I don't like Apple, but epic is selling crack to kids in my community. at least apple keeps intermediaries between them and their child slaves. I'm not taking sides here. All these huge companies are deplorable and should never have been allowed to grow so large.

Apple had no issue with Epic selling crack to your kids... as long as they got their 30% cut: there are no universally good actors here, and deciding your opinions on right and wrong based not on what should have happened but on your general opinions about the parties isn't how any of this should ever work.
