Nobody wins on this one. Epic are 100% a ChiCom front, while Apple is Apple, and the literal inventors of planned obsolescence in electronics. Fuck them both, bring back HUAC.
Disagree. It is blatantly better for consumers if Epic win. Walled gardens are anti-consumer.
I agree on Walled Gardens. But, then you've got Epic who decided to use their Fortnite money to drag games into the whole "your game can only be released on the Epic store for a year even if you already said it would be released on multiple platforms", plus the "we'll guarantee X number of sales" which - while potentially good for the devs - is terrible for the consumer.
So, from a consumer PoV, I'm highly skeptical about one being better than the other.

They were beaten to the punch by lightbulb manufacturers about a century ago.
