I don't know much about Unity, but this gatekeeping ruins your credibility. It might very well be that writing your own game engine is faster than using Unity, but I actually believe that _less_ now after reading your comment. Your argument seems more pride-based than fact-based.
Programmers specialize based on their interests, and that's a _good_ thing. If we didn't have specialization, nothing useful would ever get done. Mistakenly choosing not to leverage prior work in design space[1] can come at a very high cost.

Unity has saved me a lot of time and I don't use the skin mesh animation system.
If you don't need that you should _never_ even consider using Unity.
If you are not interested by the underlying tech of any category of computing, you are not a programmer.
