It's almost as if Epic actually does have developers' and the industry's best interests at heart despite the shit takes from the terminally-online Gamer™ crowd...
It's not entirely against their own self-interest. More accessible engines on the market means more beginner devs who may graduate to Epic in a few years, and more products to sell on the EGS. Also more devs potentially means more asset store customers.
Regardless, it's certainly more helpful to the industry than Unity at the moment.
Mozilla's primary revenue is from Google, because Google doesn't want Chrome to be broken up by the FTC. Same reason Microsoft kept Apple afloat in the dark times before Jobs returned.
