Why is this a moral right? The company decides to leverage the users, tools, and ecosystem of Apple to make money so they agree to the terms. What is immoral about that?
Do you do business in a different country, make money, and then criticize the government for "siphoning off a share of the money flowing through their platform"? I'm referring to taxes.

If the legal owner of an iPhone wants to run code from a third-party on it Apple should have no right to interfere. Apple can set its own terms on its SDKs and tools but we should be able to forego them. > I'm referring to taxes. Are Apple's shareholders going to provide people with education and healthcare? What a complete non-sequitur.

In this case, Epic didn't want to pay the app store fees. That's different from what a user wants. This is a ruling on the relationship between the company and Apple, not the user.
