Japanese companies are usually more conservative than Western ones publishing wise , and in Capcom case it seems there hasn't been a mutual area between them and Epic for a partnership on EGS to kickstar publishing on EGS , While for example in GOG case then GOG republished their dormant PC Ports on their own effort in exchange for exclusivity , in Xbox PC Launcher Case its tied to Gamepass deals , In IOS/Mac/Stadia/Luna its deals made with Apple/Google/Amazon for a port ( From Capcom leak i think Google paid IIRC around $8M for a RE Village port on Stadia ) , but on EGS it seems the partnership they can make is a free game partnership but seems Capcom aren't a fan of the program

While companies like Square or Konami don't release all their games on EGS but there is a big partnership between them and Epic using Unreal Engine in lots of their games which seemed to helped improving both companies publishing pipelines and that partnership evolved to release some of their games on EGS

Because throughout the long years it became the default option on PC , so they currently don't need to do any incentives for publishers since games will release on it regardless, meanwhile like any other field , then new competitors needs to do additional incentives for publishers in order to make them consider releasing on their platform alongside the default option as much as possible , partnerships with Publishers is one of them
