It is all about Metal support, OpenGL being replaced by Metal

capable, as well as, backwards compatibility.
Thanks, I am interested in this. Do you remember which one of
the nine videos?
SceneKit transition to Metal, comparing it with OpenGL ES,
starting on 00:22:30.

Metal is now the default renderer for SceneKit, OpenGL needs to
be opted-in.
Starting at 00:06:40, game engines support and OpenGL replacement
on the graphics stack (00:07:20).

Then you can watch how a few known companies in the industry
praise Apple for Metal and how they replaced their OpenGL stack
with Metal.
