I think they are just going after the "easier" [1] prey first. Give it time and enough existing victories to use as precedent to fight the harder battles. XBox and Playstation will be next if they manage to win in appeal against Apple and win against Google.
I think Microsoft is actually scared that they are on exactly that warpath with some of the things they've been saying about Fortnite and the big exceptions they seem to be making already in advance to Fortnite IAPs in the Microsoft Store, at least on the PC. Still remains to be seen if they plan to make similar gestures on the Xbox itself which for now is relatively a stronghold.
[1] One of the obvious reasons it is "easier": Given the average age of a US Federal Judge they are far more likely to know and use a mobile phone than to know and use an Xbox or Playstation. So less to explain to Judges.
