So to you, that 0.1% is specific to gaming engines, how ? I don't really believe it. I think "that 0.1%" demonstrates that linked list are really irrelevant and that vectors should be used all the time. The only useful advantage of linked lists is to be able to insert an element in the middle of the list. I don't understand why anyone would want to insert data in the middle of a list, you rarely want to do that in O(1), and even if you do, you still need to know where exactly you want to insert it. If you want to have data sorted, use map<>, if you want a faster map, use a hash map. Maybe lists are relevant for vertex geometry, because it might be interesting to quickly edit and add vertices, but it's such a specific case I don't think it matters. Nobody really edits vertex geometry. You could even just build an index vector instead.
