At the point where you can write a “generic” wrapper for switching game engines you could damn near write your own engine.

Yep, and people try. It's how a bunch of APIs come about, even. A good framework these days is just extra on further frameworks, like ReactJS is just a nice gap-filler between javascript and html.

Things standardize as best and as quickly as they can, but an entire game engine is... a lot more complex than a web page.
