You are missing the wood for the trees here: Apple may give up some money for the Fortnite game, but meanwhile they get to hold on to the money they rake in on other parties' products. If they accepted the Fortnite change then they would lose that other money, which absolutely dwarfs the money made on Fortnite.

I'm a bit surprised that this needs to be explained.

Apple won the case, they don’t have to accept the Fortnite changes. In fact the court ordered Epic to follow the rules, if Fortnite goes back into the store.

How would letting Fortnite back in the store, and taking their money, reduce their revenues from other developers? You’re not making any sense.
