Unity is an application to spy on users and show them ads. Often there is some sort of game involved, but I think that is just coincidence.
Not every Unity game is a generic free mobile game
Kerbal Space Program, an awesome game that simulates the construction of space vehicles and the physics of an entire solar system hyper-realistically, was developed in Unity. I am waiting on their dev team's word on this.
I know KSP. I also know KSP 2 which has the same physics bugs and limitations KSP 1 had with Unity. I know there are many "proper" games made in Unity but if the Unity company can detect your customers installing the game it is a huge red privacy flag.
