It was pretty genius from Epic, they knew they'd get banned, but it instantly showed how the consumer is harmed by this behavior (pay more, get less).

Every mobile game with a cash store would instantly give you a discount to go through a different provider.

I highly doubt every, or even many mobile game devs who could suddenly switch from IAP to Stripe would pass those savings on to the consumers... Let's be real here.

That’s getting into pretty basic economic theory, costs going down across the board in a very competitive market will generally bring down prices, eventually.
