Every conversation surrounding Unity inevitably has at least 4 or 5 Godot users that are in there talking about how much better Godot is, kinda like the annoying type of Vegans. It gets very annoying looking for information about Unity just to read comments/replies saying "switch to Godot, it's better" instead of actually answering the question.
I was deciding between Godot or Flax, but I ultimately ended up just sticking with Unity 2021.3 because the other engines didn't have what I needed and I didn't want to be bothered adding myself. That and 2021.3 was the last version that was unaffected by the terms changes and was still under the original terms.
Sounds like you feel positively about Unity and get defensive when it's attacked.
Don't get me wrong, Unity is a solid engine. I used to use it and enjoyed the experience but resent the company and their board who are still sitting pretty. Still not held to account. If it was open source, I'd probably use it, but I simply cannot trust the company to not enshittify again in the future. When they pushed these changes through, they choose to ignore their users. I could not put myself in the situation where I'd be open to getting screwed by them again. Good luck if you are fine with that risk, but you probably should understand those that put months of work into Unity and had it taken from them (myself, fortunately it was only 4 months). I'm pretty angry about it. I resent people stealing 4 months of my life.
