Oh, I completely agree, and I really can't see a solid foundation for Epic's claims at all. But, on the other hand, anti-trust was never my area of legal practice, it's a highly specialized area of US law (something I'm not familiar with in the slightest), and thousands of (billable!) man-hours would have already been spent researching, crafting and refining their argument. In other words, my legal opinion is meaningless here. I'm interested to see how it plays out.
