Except unreal engine literally was rewritten from 3 to 4.

Which is, literally, not every major version. I didn't say "all Unreal Engine versions are evolutionary steps over their predecessors", I said "they don't get rewritten from scratch for each major version".

Someone else also brought up the Quake engine, which has even more evolutionary steps; even with forks like the Source engine.
