To be frank, I don't always want to stay in the indie dev scene. If possible, I'd like to hire a team and develop a company. If this porn game thing keeps going anyway. That's why I would like to use Unity or UE4.
Each tool has its plus and minuses. Renpy has a lot less overhead then Unity or UE4 and as it stands Harem Hotel just doesn't need that overhead. Now if you could wander around each room ala RealMyst then it would make sense to used such a tool. Otherwise you wind up with a game like Something Unlimited which could have more easily been down in Renpy then the engine it does use.I don't really see what one has to do with the other. Which engine you use is down to the kind of game you're making rather than whether you have a team or not. Unity doesn't magically start to be a good choice for a VN just because you're not working alone.
Just because one can doesn't mean one should.
I should mention I have seen games languish or have cross platform partly because they tried to go the Unity route. Rack 2 case in point.
