It is not "seen as non-ideal", it was the very point of existence for all of those standards. Graphic apis had become a leaking abstraction of non-standardized driver behavior with single-digit FPS lurking around every non-popular feature corner.
It is a joke to suggest putting another abstraction over the low-level api. That is squarely the domain of libraries and frameworks.

That's fine for native apps when the libraries and frameworks can be native and thus high performance but, on the web, these have to compile to JavaScript and, while that can be very fast, a native framework is going to be faster than one running in JavaScript ontop of a lower-level API. This is a problem with the web though.
