My first thought is that they're eatingtheir own dog food, which is good.
But the store still wasn't good last I checked, and it's the end-user experience that matters.

In this case it's more like they're shoving their own dog food up their butts. It's technically possible but why would you.

They do eat their own dogfood plenty, as their own games are all UE games. Well I guess it's just Fortnite now. Still a good thing that they use their own engine, otherwise it would be hard to have faith in it. But I have no idea why they'd use it for their launcher/store.
