    As an assetstore developer (who has to support 3 different renderings), I am interested in the future of unity development.
    For example, now it is impossible to create 1 project and simply adapt it to different pipelines.
    For example, standard(built-in) rendering does not have a VFX graph. (Also, why built-in rendering was removed from VFX graph 10.4, while shader graph have built-in support)
    Postprocessing works differently in all renderings.
    CustomPass works in different ways.
    A million different rendering methods for each platform. Looks like a joke.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. CoreUtils.SetRenderTarget
    2. ScriptableRenderer.SetRenderTarget
    3. CommandBuffer.SetRenderTarget
    4. Graphics.SetRenderTarget
    5.  
    6. Graphics.Blit();
    7. CommandBuffer.Blit();
    8. ScriptableRenderPass.Blit();
    9. RenderingUtils.Blit();
    10. Blitter.Blit();
    URP/HDRP still don't have FSR/DLSS/XeSS
    Each pipeline has different names, scripts, shaders, API, UI, etc.

    Will unity admit the mistake and make one render instead of 3? Or will it continue indefinitely until finally there is a common pipeline?

    I am ready to give up all my assets and rewrite EVERYTHING for 1 pipeline again.

    They will not admit mistake.
    It will continue indefinitely but there will be no common pipeline.

    They also have to support 3 different renderings. This is an incredible waste of money and engineering effort. This could be spent on killer features such as nanite/lumen, rather than the pathetic TAA in 2023 in URP.
