> Well, let me be the first to say I won't be shedding anguished tears for a multi-billion dollar Chinese tech giant known for it's close ties to the CCP.

Me neither nor for a USA backed company owned by one of the richest mans on Earth.

I am rooting for a healthier economy that helps everybody. Apple takes 30% cut of small developers, that are the ones that depend on that 30% to break-even. I want apps to be cheaper for consumers as they do not need to add a 30% as a fixed cost. It is not about Epic.

Absent that healthier economy it seems smart to at least root for the side which is not running concentration camps, USA's and Apple's sins considered.
