Yes, and Epic charges a lot less for their support. We say how Unity was eviscerated for a much cheaper runtime fee, I can't imagine Apple gets away with triple the pricing.

The SDKs that Apple provides are far broader and more lucrative than Epic's game engine.

Is it? Epic doesn't only provide and engine to make a game with. Online services, access to extremely high fidelity assets (meta human, Quixel megascans), photogrammetry. And of course it's working on its own store. All of these have a lower cut even if you don't negotiate.
