There's a pretty big difference here though. In the case of Unity, most of the very hot code is C++. With a custom Rust engine, most of it is Rust.

On modern engines most of the hot code are GPGPU shaders, specially on cards modern enough to support mesh shaders.
Secondly, there is the ongoing rewrite from C++ into HPC#.
Third, I still remember the days when Pascal, Basic and C compilers were deemed worthless for professional game engines, followed by similar remarks to C++, back when Abrash books were still hot of the press.
Finally, languages don't dictate how fun games are and how much they sell.
