Who is in EU(rope)? I'm not! Maybe I should move from this crazy USA. :P

Well, the latter is probably a good idea in general given what's
happening there. 

But I think the bigger question is: who is on mobile? ;-)

  Is this because of the fight with Apple, or a games rights issue?

It's probably an attempt to do for the Epic Mobile store what all the
free give-aways did with Epic Game Store on PC: lure people to
download the Epic app and create an account to get free games, knowing
that once they've been on-boarded, they are much more likely to
actually BUY stuff from the app.

Unfortunately, I think this tactic will work a lot better for Epic on
mobile than it will on PC. People do all sorts of stupid stuff to get
free games on mobile. Including downloading entire app-stores from
sketchy distributors. ;-)
