Answer 1

Because games are cheating to bring you “good enough” as fast as it can and try to avoid as much work as possible whereas software like Blender spend as much time as they need (when configured to do so) to render the scene in as realistic, accurate way as it can in as high quality as it is permitted. This is a very intense work when you don’t allow any cheating.
