Epic never sued for monetary damages; it wants the court to tell Google that every app developer has total freedom to introduce its own app stores and its own billing systems on Android

This seems like a poor choice instead of monetary damages. I have the Epic ~~Games Launcher~~ free game downloader for games I forget I own. I'm very unlikely to start using Epic's services over Google's.

I'd have taken the money and run

That would have been penny wise, and pound foolish.

Sometimes it's okay to swing for the fences, even if you end up missing, it's usually worth the try.
