They have an ethical obligation. Security disclosures have major ethical concerns. If you're acting unethically, you are a dick.
Sure, Epic doesn't have any rights here. But we don't need a law to know people [and corporations] should not be dicks.
Google could have been more ethical by replying to the vendor after making their initial communication. They chose not to.

You are correct in that Google has an ethical obligation; and they and met it by protecting all Android users. I would say that Google making this announcement lets all Android users know that its not safe to just randomly install apps on your phone. Yes, they allow it, but at the same time the public is genuinely ignorant of any type of security practices.
