As a Developer I have massive respect for Epic Games here. And anyone thats developed apps for more than 5 minutes for the App store knows that the rules are completely arbitrary based on how big you are. The review team are much less harsh on the large name brand apps with legal teams and massive audiences while smaller devs are given an entirely different more hardcore set of rules. This is bad for innovation, bad for smaller businesses and bad for users.

App store rules is a whole different can of worms from the app store tax. I don't claim to agree with the state of either, but all the same the partially overlapping needs of the three parties (user, developer, platform) are difficult to balance and align and I don't believe in any extreme here.

  How about equitable enforcement of the rules?

    That would be fantastic but I won't hold my breath. Improvements could be made but at the scale they operate at it's probably not ever going to be great.
