Not a fan of either, but I fail to see how it is a monopoly. Epic has the money to make their own app store as seen by their PC games one. They could perfectly well just make their own store regardless of Google. This fact alone makes it not a monopoly. Multiply that by how many million other business can put up servers and start an app store (to crash and fail - but besides the point), and by simple logic you prove that Google does not impede competition, and the customer has always the opportunity to use other stores/app platforms such as f-droid, etc. Now, if they locked the ecosystem completely and blocked phones from running apps installed from any other source, that would be a different story. As it is, this is just yet another case of legal ghouls who probably can't setup a wallpaper on their desktop without calling IT deciding tech laws for the rest of us...

Seems like their business management was of the same quality as their game development.

Pardon my ignorance, but can we then infer that upstream, Debian will have similar or better results? What distinguishes Ubuntu in this case from, let's say, less bloated distros? Just a better PR department, or are there any technical reasons to single it out?
