Honestly it's hard to make the case for learning OpenGL at all at this point, unless you need to maintain legacy code. It's not a good API, and it's a technical dead-end with Khronos no longer developing it and Apple abandoning it even earlier. While Vulkan has the vertical learning curve problem there's now native WebGPU libaries providing a sane middle ground that follows modern principles without getting bogged down in minutiae like Vulkan does.
