Still an enormous nope. Both for the developers and the users. How do you check if a game has already been installed once? What data are you gonna steal to check if it has been installed already?
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.
