One thing that struck me was the lavish praise heaped on the ECS of the game engine being migrated away from; this is extremely common.

I think when it comes to game dev, people fixate on the engine having an ECS and maybe don't pay enough attention to the other aspects of it being good for gamedev, like... being a very high level language that lets you express all the game logic (C# with coroutines is great at this, and remains a core strength of Unity; Lua is great at this; Rust is ... a low level systems language, lol).

People need to realise that having ECS architecture isn't the only thing you need to build games effectively. It's a nice way to work with your data but it's not the be-all and end-all.
