Fortnite is free. They release patches to the game weekly, with major patches every month or so, which are also free. The _only_ revenue stream in fortnite is cosmetic skins, which as a player you could ignore entirely and still play 100% of the game.
In fact, you can earn small handfuls of the premium currency every season, which actually allowed people to purchase premium skins or the "battle pass" with currency obtained for free.
There is no comparison to be made with Apple, who won't let you do a thing on the app store without giving them money.
