Have you developed games at all, or are you just speaking from an armchair?

As a gamedev who writes unit tests, I agree with GP. Games benefit from unit tests. That, however, doesn't change the systemic incentives that prevent tests from being written. The ways that gamedev is budgeted/funded is a more important factor than more tests = a more stable/less buggy game.

What engine do you use that supports a unit test framework?
