Just wait until you wander too far from supported things to do in unreal.
Like wanting some not default setup around unreal systems.
For eg. parking AI driven bot exactly on location, not 20uu from it.
Or making efficient touch input widgets that do not assume weird stuff.
Those two things can be solved with hacked solutions, or proper changes in unreal code.
However changes to unreal code mean you extended engine, and need to patch it every time you upgrade it.
I call such cases “kicking contest with a horse” (unreal). Unreal demands sacrifice and unreal knows better.
Moment you want do something not standard you discover whole web of connected things.
And usual result is going around all those dependencies kills whole idea of doing some functionality.
Not blaming here Unreal or Epic coders, just pointing out that iceberg of unreal code goes much much deeper.
