Facebook and Apple are toying with us, and it's scarcely believable

Apple's spat with Epic is actually Epic's spat with Apple

Apple has been providing a platform, iOS, since 2006 that has evolved now into a set of distinct and related platforms: iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS.

Microsoft provides a platform called Xbox.

Sony provides a platform called PlayStation.

Each of these platform providers extract a commish from vendors selling software-based experiences on said platforms.

Why is Epic getting on Apple's teets but not MS or Sony?
