I thought of this the other week, since it's not a stretch to think Epic will want to go after those marketplaces as well if they can.
It feels a little different, but I'm not willing to let that make me a hypocrite. We should have control over that hardware if we bought it, full stop. If that means we can't get those platforms as cheap anymore because they can't recoup their money from store fees, so be it. The world will be better off.
You can't trust any company to have your best interests at heart. You can barely expect this a miniscule amount of the time with your elected representatives, and that's their whole job. The market is for providing competition and innovation. Laws are for providing safety and security (and that includes keeping the market functioning well enough to provide those legitimately). Let's not forget that.
There's plenty of competition in terms of stores for all those things, except iPhones.
For instance, you can buy games for your switch from amazon or best buy. They have no such restriction where you can only buy games through Nintendo's store
