Android is at 45% and apple is at 55%.[1] Is your contention that a least of that amount is sufficient such that it actually changes this in some way? If so, how do you square that with Android's worldwide market share being reported as 72% in 2020?[2] 1: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/north-america https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/north-amer... 2: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide/2020 https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide/...

> Android is at 45% and apple is at 55%. These are the wrong numbers to look at. App profits are what count here - that’s what Epic wants to tap into.

Android alternative stores are not representative of what would happen because they are not the same, either technically, or in terms of market value.
