The article didn't do a good job of explaining things. It does link to some legal documents, in which you see that Epic is making their claim on behalf of all the various independent Unreal Engine game developers out there and their users. Not users of the things that Epic publishes directly on the App Store.
The Supreme Court ruling is saying no, you can't do it that way. You can file a class action lawsuit - that would be ok. Or the independent game developers could each file lawsuits against Apple - that would also be ok. But Epic can't file a non-class action lawsuit and claim that all the independent game developers would prefer to send their in-app-purchases to Epic's store. If the court is to consider that game studio ABC has been harmed, then game studio ABC has to go into court and say that they've been harmed.
