I'm not implying at all that every game company should develop their own in-house engine.

But maybe, just maybe, they could request Epic or Unity to optimize their engines better for the lower end.

You cant optimise the general case

Optimisation is almost universally about tradeoffs.

If you are a general engine, you can’t easily make those tradeoffs, and worse you have to build guardrails and tooling for many cases, slowing things down further.

The best we can hope for is even better profiling tools from Epic, but they’ve been doing that for the last couple of years since borderlands.
