    Swear to whoever you like - you’ll find words and phrases created for one thing often apply to other things. But if we want to be pedantic, how bout this: I don’t trust Epic Games. They do not do anything for the sake of good, this included. Your logic fails here because this doesn’t spite Apple in the slightest. They still get their money.

      It’s only recently that EEE as a term started being misused and it’s happening mostly in the Fediverse so I’m not giving up on correcting that.

      Also, what I said doesn’t mean I like any of the involved companies. I use Apple products but cheer whenever they’re exposed for being dumb or greedy. Epic is only doing this because they missed the train on electronic storefront monopolies. AltStore took people’s money and released a store that had like 2 apps total for months and only got some more only recently (and they’re very middling). There’s no good guys here but outcomes of their fight seem positive regardless.
