Are there any compelling games on Apple Arcade?

Can you only play them on Apple devices?

If so, I bet that Netflix’s games strategy will be more successful from an end-user as well as business perspective.

The reputational damage Apple is inflicting on itself in the eyes of developers is unbelievable. I have no idea how you would begin to quantify what proportion of the value of Apple products can be attributed to third-party software, but it's certainly not nothing, and a computing device without a wide range of quality software is certainly much less compelling.

They just seem hell-bent on burning every bridge they can.

Sneaky Sasquatch is beyond amazing. Played with my daughter until she kept spending all our money on outfits and accessories
