They're in a battle w/ the FTC over Privacy violations, MTX problems with gambling mechanics & unwanted charges, and other stuff aimed also at youngins via Fortnite - so, maybe they pulled them just in case? Maybe it was an FTC order to pull their online games?
See this on Epic v. FTC, as FTC ordered Epic to pay them over $500m USD for this madness -

Maybe Epic is going to Remaster all of these and delisted them here, so they could sell them on their own store exclusively at some point?
We don't know yet. Nobody's came out and been straight-up from Epic, FTC, and/or GOG.
Who the heck knows, TBH. [shrug]
