I don't think apple should have backed down. Epic has proven itself to not care for the rules and deliberately manipulate public opinion.
Epic knew introducing a third-party payment system would kick them off the ios store so they spun up a special interest group and tried to claim Epic as a victim of big tech despite also bing a multi billion dollar company.
And before people make assumptions, I don't support the apple walled garden either. I like having alternative app stores and hope to see fdroid make an appearance on iOS.
I just can't understand defending monopolies. The question here is not what is right for apple or epic, it's what is the best outcome for the human customer.
And the answer is the walled garden that Apple provided.
