Nobody suggested that Godot was on par with Unity. The hope is that resources get diverted away from Unity towards Godot so that it can develop into a top-notch game engine. It's time to stop waiting and start working on Godot.
It reminds me of the linux debate:
- A: I hate Windows telemetry
- B: Then switch to linux. It's as good
- A: But it doesn't have a good video editor.
- B: You should develop your own video editor and share it with the community
- A: Ughh... I just want to edit my videos...
I use linux and love it, but there are users who need Windows or Unity.
Seems like a fun weekend project
Otherwise sure, that misguided evangelicalism is hurting trust in open source software, when people claim it is ready, where it isn't.

Need is a strong word, but I will never judge someone on the tools they use (well, not on a personal level. I will judge you if you choose to make a game in Microsoft Powerpoint, you madman). But if you're going to complain about big business and then wonder why you can't find a good alternative when your complaints fall on deaf ears... well, you see why they are still in business.
I've simply shifted my mindset over the years from trying to tear down the evil, and instead build up the good. It's a much more productive way to live much of life in general.
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
