Simple: Unity is bleeding money, is an inferior engine in pretty much all possible ways (sure, rendering quality is the one that UE is obviously better at, but that also includes ease of use, available tooling, stability, etc), has launched multiple projects in parallel leading to a half finished engine everywhere (Use default Unity! Unless you want to use DOTS ? It's still in alpha and kind of abandoned but also has features that we'll never put in default Unity. Also do the same for rendering! The default rendering pipeline is simple! But you can also use a Scriptable Render Pipeline! We even provide a default one, and you can customize it! No, it's missing a lot of features, yes, we know. How about you use HDRP for that ? It's our high definition pipeline! Just move to it already! Yes, it's missing a ton of features and performance is dogshit, but look, we made a nice video with humans that takes 5 weeks to render on any normal PC and took weeks of optimization. What's that? You don't like it ? You want to swap back to SRP ? Ah shit, we forgot to tell you, moving to HDRP is a one way process. Yes, all your assets are fucked now.), has a terrible reputation because every asset flip game will start with that logo, a complete mess of a pricing table (which one do you want, Student, Personal ? Oh wait, you're working on a game ? then you need Pro. Or Plus. Or maybe Industrial Collection. Or Enterprise ? Confused ? Contact us and we'll make the price stupid).
So, they're going where the money is. They're pivoting to mobile games, and to make bank in that, they partner with a spyware company that installs shit on your phone and is neck deep in helping with predatory pricing and abusive psychological manipulations.
Unity is a sinking ship, and the captain is a rat.
