Why is print only in MonoBehaviour (and not using UnityEngine(?

Specifically, if you don’t inherit from MonoBehaviour but still have using UnityEngine this statement won’t work: print("hi"); and you have to use Debug.Log("hi");

Print is a wrapper method that calls Debug.Log. Its a static member of MonoBehaviour. So it can be called from within a MonoBehaviour. If you have a real problem with Debug.Log you can still use print like so:

MonoBehaviour.print("This lets me avoid typing Debug.Log");
