Those engine are not made for voxel games and to re-write the game in a new engine could set back development by a few years.

I think it might be just a little late for a suggestion like that one

Unreal Engine is not geared towards large/infinite worlds. IIRC, UE4 maps are limited to a few square km worth of terrain (10x10?). Boundless worlds wouldn’t fit in UE4’s architecture.
Also, Boundless’ engine does a lot of smart things because it is built specifically as a voxel engine - that would be hard/impossible in UE. (The way it draws/combines voxels in the distance, etc)
More importantly, changing a game engine is a very significant undertaking (it would probably delay the game by many months or years)

Additionally to what @nevir has written, there are also royalty fees associated with UE4 (which you don’t get with C++), and whilst only being 5% per quarter (after the first $5000) it could still take a sizable chunk of revenue out of the game, which could otherwise be used to fund additional features or developers.
