If we take this at face value, you’d get banned if you happen to play the game on both pc and switch occasionally, or any other console
I choose to believe epic isn’t THAT stupid

Would imagine there are some safeguards with that, since I game on two different PCs, XBox, and Switch. Maybe mobile if there is something exclusive. So they are at least looking at within the same household, which is fine. Would imagine there is a hardware check too if you're traveling somewhere so that it knows it's you. But let's say you're on the east coast, play for a bit, then half an hour later, your friend logs into the same account on the west coast, that would trigger something suspicious.

As the top comment said, this happens multiple times a year, it's nothing new. If you did nothing wrong there's nothing to worry about.
