Can they tell the differences between installs or can't they? Either way, they're definitely lying to their users.

Oh, I don't think anybody will disagree that Unity is completely unoptimized and barebones compared to Unreal. It is also hard to learn and confusing compared to Godot.

There used to be a huge amount of people that wanted exactly something easier to learn than Unreal and more featureful than Godot. But those two improved in a way that this niche may not even exist anymore. Anyway, currently Unity has that unbeatable marketplace, and I really don't know if there's a good enough replacement somewhere, but I don't see any other reason to use it.

(But then, I'm not really a game developer. I've used those here or there, for fun.)

Not quite. Unity isn't poorly optimized, but it's not great either. Unity also is very easy to learn, hence the number of really shit games put out from it.
