Epic enshittified early. The whole system was terrible and they force it onto you. Here is valve actively making it easier to play your games while epic was like "It's PC gaming, you get the good with the bad, suck it!". You can't simply buy your competition when your competition has more money than God.

Epic is failing because Tim Sweeney refused to innovate the platform.

Fuck Tim Sweeney with a linux powered dildo.

He is the reason linux gaming is being held back.

Even Microsoft doesn't seem to be actively preventing their games from running on Linux. Fuck Sweeney.

I played Forza Horizon 4 and 5 on Linux with no issues. But I give the laurels to Steam and Proton.

Oh, yeah, Valve and Proton are to thank. I'm just saying Microsoft's not blocking Proton like Epic and a few others seem to be. I can appreciate the stance of "We won't help you, but we won't stop you either. Good luck" that I think MS is taking with this.
