Just from a legal perspective, it seems clear why Apple would not allow Epic back in when appeals are still being made to the judgement. The "reneged" started with Epic and continues to this day with the appeal, so Apple see no merit in returning to a standard contract with them...the Epic PR is classic "speaking out both sides of your mouth".
What’s really funny is Epic filed the first appeal. And no court would disagree with Apple that they can wait until the case is decided and closed. It’s not a legal question at all. Epic just continues to screw it up. Greed…
In fact if you read the ruling, Apple is allowed to terminate Epic's developer status for any reason whatsoever. So if Sweeney wasn't a narcissistic, greedy sociopath he would be doing everything he could to fix the relationship.
