It's not obvious to me what the difference between "real" and "fake" 2D is.

What is hard to do in Unity because its 2D isn't "real"?

I think those were unrelated complaints. The hallowed purity of 2D is weird to me, but Unity's tooling being hard to use certainly resonates.

2D is a special case of 3D. If you only want to do 2D then a 2D API is going to be simpler than a 3D API. There's a whole mess of parameters and transformations that just go away.
