Tim Sweeney still has a controlling stake in Epic, and has been beating this drum for a while. Previously when Microsoft introduced the Windows Store he was decrying the future of Windows as an open platform. So to me it seems mostly Tim's personal battle. Obviously in the end it's all about money, but Tim seems to genuinely want all game developers (not just Epic) to get a larger cut of the pie as opposed to the platform holders. The stated purpose of the Epic game store on PC is to give developers a larger cut compared to what Steam was giving them.
