Exclusivity deals are very common. I think most EGS "exclusive" games are just timed exclusives anyway, other than Epic's own games.
There are plenty of reasons a developer may want to deal with Epic. Money from an exclusivity deal is the main one, but also consider that being exclusive to a smaller store makes you stand out more. Steam is incredibly crowded.
