You are misunderstanding what it means to have a LTV of > $100,000. I don't know if you watched the video but you could make that game in Unity/Unreal/etc super easy. They just outsource the dev to some shop for a few million and if you get ~1000 real customers you have made your money back.

Everyone that wants to learn by "general purpose components and networking and then learn AWS API's" has already done that. How do you expand past that?

Is a game the best way to do that? Who knows, but you have to do something. As a sib comment said not everyone learns the way youre saying (I definitely don't)

This game isn't outsourced to any shop. It was created and developed by Amazonians who have been there year. I personally know the people who worked on the game. They all have worked at Amazon for years and are extremely excited about expanding Cloud Quest in a bunch of very exciting ways.

Can you make a game in Unity? Yeah. But this wasn't outsourced.

Did they export to WebAssembly?
