I'm not commenting on the Linux stuff itself. But the idea that Epic sued Google because they "dislike Linux" doesn't make sense on two levels:

  1. Epic sued Google because they want to keep the extra 30% that Google gets from any IAP. It's a simple business decision, without any emotions attached.
  2. Google doesn't care about programmers, Linux, or open source. They might have a long time ago, but not anymore.

Google doesn't care about anything.
