Indeed. People think of Unity as a game engine and it's really not. Unity is a service provider, whose major services is the asset store, analytics, ad platform, and so forth. The game engine and editor is just the hook. Most long-term Unity developers have a toolkit of assets that massively overhaul the engine, anyhow; and Unity leans into that.

Godot is an interesting engine and editor, but that's not enough to make me switch. Show me the ecosystem of services and tools that surround it, and how _utterly trivial_ they are to access, and I might consider switching.
