By that definition every app developer is a competitor.

And Apple is basically a trillion dollar company. Tens of millions in lost revenue from Epic isn’t going to cause them to lose any sleep at night.

It's not about these tens of million, it's about control over all of the money, and about control of everything on the device more broadly.
