I think Unity just publicly figured out what has always been the case - there is no market for a game engine targeted to developers that want to make PC games. They all have no money, don't want to pay license fees, and are rarely successful enough to pay their success forward back to Unity.

However for realtime applications other than "standalone games", Unity has absolute (and growing) dominance outside of where Unreal is carving out a niche (Film/TV). Automotive, simulation, robotics, etc. are all leading Unity adoption.

If you're (royal "You") the type of dev that wants to make games for Steam, Godot is definitely leaning more in that direction these days than Unity, but I think Unity isn't seeing anything really "bad" coming out of that besides lack of good PR in places where game developers post screenshots/etc.
