what you suggest by gluing libs together is more like a framework. Engines have cohesive asset systems that tie into engine and gameplay systems, networking has to work with the gameplay layer, etc. Also, tooling is like 90% of what makes an engine worth using. You need asset importers, level editors, scripting solutions (often visual these days), data editors
