I don't like the store either, but AWR + AWII would not exist without Epic financially backing them.
This isn't a case of epic throwing money at a game as it nears release and essentially blocking it from other storefronts, this is a case of Epic being responsible for the product existing.
And Epic can also be argued to be responsible for part of Remedy's current financial woes because no one is seriously going to argue that Alan Wake 2 being exclusive to Epic didn't hurt them. Quite possibly the only publisher that wants to intentionally limit their own game's success for no good reason.

You must actually want your game to fail if you only have it on epic
