I don't get how any of this relates to anti-competition, since Fortnite doesn't compete with Apple, and is using and capitalizing on the money making potential of the app store (and refusing to pay the fees). Meanwhile Apple's actual competition in the App store market does the exact same ban... In an actual court of law (rather than court of public opinion) there is no way Epic will win especially since Google took the same stance.
At the end of the day Fortnite/Epic is just trying to maximize their shareholder value in leveraging lower/no fees from Apple for a revenue source for them that is frankly optional (iOS/Google Play are just two platforms they can choose to offer their app, and there is competition from the Windows and macOS platforms as well which do not charge these fees). Even if Epic wins you're still not going to jailbreak your phone and install malware the way you really want to.
The "anti-competition" platform is great because consumers just want to install random apps on their phones, but we bought our iPhones/Google phones knowing the app store was restricted to those who paid... we still did it.
