They're not behind the curve because there's new replacements. They were already behind many years ago, and that's why Unity decided to rewrite them instead of upgrading. Non-preview replacements still haven't arrived for a lot of those features. Maybe that's ok for you, but it's not for me. The end. The rest of your post seems to be making the point that Unity is great for people who want to give input on how to create an engine. Sure, but I'd personally rather have software where the major advertised features are ready for use without having to "deal with the fact... they're unfinished".
