I can see what you mean, but you do have the option to install EGS on your PC, you just choose not to. There was no way to install a separate app store on iOS.
FWIW, I also prefer Steam and dislike needing EGS, but I have the option to install it no problem without being restricted by something like Microsoft when I'm on the Windows platform.
That’s not the question though. If software is not available on a platform it is just not available. If I write a software for windows you can’t sue me for the software not working on your Samsung smart fridge.
Epic on the other hand bought some fridge native software and made sure that you can’t run it on your fridge anymore.

But it _can_ still run, you just need to install a new piece of software (EGS) that you don't want to.
The reason the software wasn't available on the other platform is due to restriction of the platform maintainer (not arguing whether Apple should or shouldn't have that right).
It's been a while since I've played Rocket League (I purchased through Steam), but I was under the impression that it still runs and updated via Steam, but new users don't have access to download except via EGS. Am I off target there?
