Actually Amarin ITC case is based on the inclusion of EE-EPA into Dietary Supplements.

Pure EPA is not that easy to come by - and a bit expensive! If not packaged properly loses potency! Certainly natural version.

who would even spend the money to produce EE EPA when the other stuff is readily available and is easy to market to the general public?

Huh? What "other stuff"? EE-EPA is much cheaper to make than rTG-EPA, the other form available as a DS - but the natural form of EPA, meaning it doesn't go through a chemical conversion process, oxidizes very easily and you can't concentrate it above the ratio of EPA/DHA found in fish, of which EPA is about 30% of total O3 content - that's standard "fish oil" and it's of nearly no value for therapeutic or medical uses.
