They are not nearly anywhere on same scale. There are ~1400 app releases in App Store per day (all of them need to be reviewed, checked for compatibility etc. etc.). There are ~2 million apps which have to be hosted, checked, delivered etc. Then there are push notifications. During WWDC'12 (yes, 7 years ago) Apple was pushing 7 billion notifications daily. In comparison: Epic store has 4 apps.
