I don’t understand. Is there any reason the answer to these questions couldn’t have been.

‘Yes’ and ‘So what’?

Are they really trying to dance around the fact that some, if not most, people like sexual content?

Apple disagrees with the last statement and puts an ethical judgment on it as well.

Apple disallows sexual content in their ecosystem. Epic wants to be a part of it. That's a pretty good reason not to.

Reddit explicitly has tons of sexual content. So does chrome.

Saying "but you allow them" is not the best option, unless you're happy with the result of Apple blocking Reddit instead of allowing you to do it too. (I'm ignoring here the part where Reddit data is user-generated and not reviewed by the Reddit app publishers, which is a completely different situation than Epic and itch.io)

let's see apple ban reddit and browsers. Then we can talk about this argument.

Yes, please. Maybe Apple-fanboy here will finally understand Apple's evilness.

unless this theoretical IOS EGS is working on a universal Windows to IOS transpiler to deploy their games on, I feel the burden is on Apple to prove that itch.IO has an interest of hosting adult content on IOS, not Epic.

As for the answer to that; Itch developers for IOS tend to just link to the IOS store for their app, so the interest isn't there (and Apple's control is).
