Plenty of Unity games exist with acceptable performance. Hell, City Skylines 1 also used Unity and the performance only got bad with big cities, not new cities.

It's also odd to call out Unity as the issue when talking about CS:2 and KSP2, when both of their predecessors also used Unity and run better.

If that isn't damning with faint praise, I don't know what is.

Only because you're reading the damning into it. Acceptable isn't a euphemism for bad, I just reserve "great" for things that are, well, great. Like Factorio level's of optimization (Even though that game is capped at 60fps). 100+ fps with 7 year old hardware is perfectly adequate in my book. Skimming some popular games that use Unity and run fine: Rimworld, Outer Wilds, Gunfire Reborn, Enter The Gundeon, Risk of Rain 2, Hollow Knight. I see some more, but I haven't personally played or watch someone play them so I hesitate to list them.
