OpenGL really is a legacy API in 2020. There is a massive mismatch between modern GPU design and the OpenGL API design. The only reason it wasn't left behind a decade ago is that there wasn't a decent replacement.

Today, with Vulkan and soon WebGPU available, there really is very little reason to hang on to OpenGL for anything but legacy.
