Godot might be a meme in terms of AAA games, but "Commercial games" is a lot more than AAA, both by revenue and just total games developed.
> Most of companies with above AA cash would rather write their own engines than use Godot
See previous statement. When did we start talking at "above AA" companies? Also most companies with "above AA" money aren't using Unity.

This has more to do with age though. You see less people driving 2024 cars than 2020 cars.

Yeah again, it really feels like your perspective on game development is purely from the AAA BigCo game dev side. Which is a real perspective, but is certainly not even close to all encompassing with regard to game development.
