Apple terminates Epic Games developer account calling it a ‘threat’ to iOS

Article note: Holy shit Apple is going hard on this. The EU just handed them a $2B fine in the Spotify case, and to add to their already substantial malicious compliance on the DMA, they've suspended Epic's (who have been among the most aggressive in perusing access) developer account. Microsoft got away with a not-even-as-bold implementation of this kind of shit for a couple years in the 90s before getting smacked down, but either some executives have a staggering amount of hubris, or the calculus on how much the walled garden and associated anti-competitive practices are worth is just so much lucre it seems worth it not to give any ground.
