Unity sucks but as a hobbyist game developer it is a godsend. The only other way I can support all the platforms I want to (Android, web, PC) is through Web APIs directly, and nobody likes more Electron.

SDL is fine for cross platform development. Personally, I have used it for some commercial games in the past, but I think it's not comparable to Unity or unreal engine. SDL is not a game engine, it provides only lower level features (audio, opengl context initialization, joystick support, etc). Even for things like in-game menus and text rasterisation you are on your own.
