Tim Sweeney added,
I just like how it's, apparently, an industry standard(as if nobody knew about it before), but Steam is the only one scrutinized for it.
Steam is also the only purely digital (major) store that takes 30%. 
Apple AppStore and Google Play also major and purely digital stores that take 30%. They're on mobile only, of course, but still. Tim Sweeney has no problem with Fortnite being on the Apple AppStore and doesn't say anything about it, despite the fact that it takes 30%.
Yeah, that is definitely a valid thing to bring up. But, Epic Games are launching their own Android store with the already downloaded Fortnite APK on Android, so that can potentially bring some actual competition there, as well - considering Fortnite is fucking huge on mobile.
Fortnite not being on the Google Play is only possible because of the open nature of Android. If he despises stores 30% cut so much he could've just not release Fortnite on iOS as protest, but he didn't. And since he stays silent about it just goes to show what a hypocrite he is.
Regarding iOS, seehttps://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/03/17/epics-tim-sweeney-doubles-down-on-uwp-criticism-challenges-apple-to-rethink-closed-ios-platform.aspx …
In these articles I see criticism of how closed iOS is as a platform but not much criticism for the revenue split of the AppStore. These things are correlated, but are not the same.
Right. I feel the core problem on iOS is that Apple contractually blocks competing stores from offering a better deal. Allow competition and stores will come along with better than 30% deals, and competition will lead to lower rates everywhere.
