Or You simply aren’t ruthless enough about how much time you have on an indie project.

  Or those features can be nice-to-haves that are worth it if they're not too much effort, such as if, say, I don't know, an engine handles them for you. Come on, real life rarely justifies such easy, simple decisions. And polish can matter a lot for games.

    Sure I’m expressing a value judgment, a design preference - not an eternal truth. And the principle is I want to spent the effort on the most important features in which case it’s not a big deal to write them. Your best features become better than if they were cobbled together in Unity.

      That is, to be generous, a rather extreme and niche value judgement that corresponds to no utility I can think of. Real life has a spectrum of "important features" and a corresponding spectrum of justified effort. If that's your idea of artistic integrity, then you do you, but for anyone else it's probably nonsense.
