I'm not interested in someone else's engine - that's not the
way of the _REAL_ Radio Ham

It is _ALWAYS_ worth the effort to do things for yourself - that
is the essence of _REAL_ Ham Radio - it is the CBer and the
CBer-Masquerading-As-A-Radio-Ham who buy things
off-the -shelf!

Question - what is the internal modelling technique used
by these various programs, and can we produce our own package?

Most of them (exceptions being the harmonic balance types for RF) use
the old Berkeley Spice engine developed by the good folks at the
eponymous university. The simulation package authors just adapt the
engine with their own preferences WRT to features, GUI, gimmicks etc.
So yeah, you can certainly come up with your own flavor of Spice just
by adapting the basic Berkeley engine to your tastes. It's highly
unlikely to be worth the effort, though. There's already a spice out
there for everyone - if you can find the right one for you.
