Why is Unity the most popular engine?

There’s still code in UE4 from 1998, let alone from Unreal Engine 3. Large parts of Unreal Engine 4 are still very heavily derived from it’s predecessor and some of the tools are largely identical.

I’m sure Windows and every other large scale piece of software reuses parts of their code as well. Not the same as “Old Tech”

Unity has a poor renderer out of the box for example. It looks and plays worse than games released in 2006 without heavy use of the Asset store. Unity can’t even get raw input from the mouse properly ffs.
