1. Epic violated Apple's ToS (apparently intentionally, to start a legal battle that they want to have right now due to EU investigations into abuse of monopoly power by large tech companies like Apple and Google)
2. Apple has to enforce their ToS (there is legal precedent that if you don't enforce your own rules, then you don't care about them - so it's a good idea to follow your own rules) so they had to boot Fortnite from the App store
The big deal is that this might trigger significant legal judgements that may determine what tech giants can or cannot do on their platforms.
