Why UE4 isn't using Enlighten?

You would go out of vram trying to bake a game like battlefront or the Kite demo only with lightmass.
It would clearly look good but textures plus all the lightmaps, can you Imagine how much gb of
Vram you would need? It would be simply impossible.

Thats what i’m saying all the time, solutions like svoti or even enlighten is what we need.
When it comes to the price, of course just bigger studios can handle 125K, the only chance for the
average user to get enlighten in UE4 would be if Epic make a deal with enlighten like unity does it.

What do you think Enlighten does? It still bakes lighting information beforehand and stores it so that it can be used later
