I'm not sure I know what you're asking. Many people use established engines and many of those engines are still under active development to add features, tune performance, etc. Some people also choose to write their own, either for learning/fun or for more specific usecases.
Write a game engine? I'd suggest you just use one. And how powerful are those features? Anyway, Among US(mobile game) was made with Unity game engine.
It depends entirely on the needs and skill of the developers. There's no one size fits all.
