I prefer C/C++ over Unity and other tools: is it such a big downer for a game developper ?

We have a big game project on Unity at school on which we are 12 to work on. My teacher seems to be convinced it's an important tool to teach students, since it makes students look from the high level to the lower level.
I can understand his view, and I'm wondering: Is unity such an important engine in game developping companies ? Are there a lot of companies using it because they can't afford to use something else ? He is talking like Unity is a big player in game making, but I only see it fit small indie game companies who want to do a game as fast as possible.
Do you think Unity is that much important in the industry ?
Does it endangers the value of C++ skills ?
It's not that I don't like Unity, it's just that I don't learn nothing with it, I prefer to achieve little steps with Ogre or SFML instead.
Also, we also have C++ practice exercises, but those are just practice with theory, nothing much.
