I receive 2-5 emails a week with 'someone has tried to log in to your account' from Epic games. After seeing this article it makes me wonder how much prevention

  2-5 attempts per week sounds like their brute-force prevention can't really be asked to do much more.

    I was getting a few a night for a couple of weeks, with no option to permanently lock my account. I had 2-factor enabled and that did nothing. There's no way to disable the emails. I was just getting endlessly spammed by someone who was never going to guess a 24+ character password via any dictionary or bruteforce. Very annoying.

  I was getting these emails from having an Epic account for Unreal Engine. Since I don't use Unreal anymore, I had them 'delete' my account. I've only gotten a couple emails since doing that, which is very strange to me. If a regular attempt still triggers that email, wouldn't I still be getting just as many emails? It makes me wonder if the people doing this are triggering the attempts in a special way, or if there is some way to view all accounts, so now my account isn't being listed and therefore isn't having access attempts anymore except by people who already built up a database of accounts.
