I think Godot’s workflow and structure is closer to Unity’s, so this strikes me as Epic trying to commoditize their competition.

Just so you know, the original version of this quote was "commoditize their complement", not "commoditize their competition"

Yeah, I had looked up the term to double-check before posting, but I felt that it didn’t quite fit as a developer picking Unreal was unlikely to also use Unity for a game.

But that's not what they are doing. Godot/Unity are not complements to Unreal. Epic are, in fact, commoditizing their competition, which is low-end, indie-friendly games development platforms.
