All of that takes place during the trial, not after.

The answer you’re looking for is: it took 4 years to enforce the original ruling because Apple appealed that decision. Many of the slow walking tactics used during the original trial remain available during the appeal stage.

Interesting that the article doesn’t say anything about an appeal, and also that Apple will appeal this decision as well…

2024 was the end of the appeals process with the Supreme Court.
Per the wiki:
While Apple implemented App Store policies to allow developers to link to alternative payment options, the policies still required the developer to provide a 27% revenue share back to Apple, and heavily restricted how they could be shown in apps. Epic filed complaints that these changes violated the ruling, and in April 2025 Rogers found for Epic that Apple had willfully violated her injunction, placing further restrictions on Apple including banning them from collecting revenue shares from non-Apple payment methods or imposing any restrictions on links to such alternative payment options
