That's the real headline right there. This is huge news, and hopefully opens the door (or re-opens?) to eventually opening up Apple's ecosystem.

I understand the merits of Apple's case with Epic and why Apple prevailed, but it still seems like a big part of their market dominance was not properly attributed to their mind share and sheer momentum, and not entirely due to their service and product quality.

Sorry if thats unclear,, typing on mobile and will try to expand that thought later.

How does this help open up Apple's ecosystem? Iirc the reason why google lost here is because of Android, specifically because they don't have a closed ecosystem. If anything it seems this emboldens Apple to keep doing what it's doing.
