Sometimes gatekeeping is necessary. None of the AI driven "make a game with a prompt" projects I've seen posted here (which would be the AI equivalent of a "game engine") have been capable of making a game worth playing, despite technically being "games", so I'll have to disagree with you on at least that point for now.

You aren’t disagreeing with me.

I specifically said complaining about game devs who use engines is unnecessary gatekeeping. On the other hand, complaining about artists (or game devs!) who exclusively use AI seems like a valid use of gatekeeping to me.
