Well, do you see it happening on Android for any major app except Fortnite?

That's fair, and I admit it's one possible outcome of all this. I just think that if the EU mandates that both Apple and Google have to support them that it's going to shift the needle on it as the alternative infrastructure will be properly supported on every major platform. As you get that infrastructure, get payment providers in place to drive it all, the friction of switching will drop, which makes it a more appealing option for developers.
