Think about it this way: Now Epic doesn't make ANY money off JJ franchise (since Epic Classics is gone at all). If they release it on GOG or Steam, they'll make some money back. Even after GOG cut. Some money is always better than no money and (at least in case of the first JJ, porting second one may be more involved), all they have to do is to grab binaries off some abandonware site, pack it up with preconfigured DOSBox and upload to GOG's server? Costs? Almost none, less than an hour worth of work which even some Epic's intern can do. And there will be gain.
Also it's not like Epic doesn't release their old titles on GOG, for example original Unreal is there.
