There's a lot of nice things you get for free in a big engine that are a hassle doing it yourself. Esp with the unity store etc.

I love LibGDX for personal projects but for serious development where deadlines matter having stuff like dialog trees, UI, etc. that just work out of the box and have the edge cases polished is Very Nice.

And ofc, cross platform with consoles is way harder rolling your own and that's often a big deal.

That sorta thing is why Slay the Spire switched to Unity/Godot for the sequel
