As a game programmer, I have to agree. Game engines exist. Non-bloated browsers do not. Simple as that.

It all comes down to the ability to manage scope. You can take a lot of shortcuts and still come up with a cool, unique game engine. Browser development, on the other hand, has been hijacked by Google. Even if you hire 50 people, all you can do is fork Chromium and add some bells and whistles.

As a result, making a game engine is both simpler and much more creatively rewarding. Of course, if you're having too much fun, you can always kill both of these advantages and try to develop a UE5-killer. But that's on you.
