Why is anyone surprised by this? Apple has a decades-long history of taking outdated technology and making it obsolete by forcefully removing it (which they haven't actually done yet with OpenGL): Parallel Ports Floppy Drives CD/DVD Drives Older USB, Firewire ports Network ports They were the first to remove all this stuff, and everyone was shocked. Now they are doing this with an API. Both Apple and Microsoft have long ago created much more modern, highly performant graphics technologies over what OpenGL offers, and serious vendors support platform-specific APIs most of the time. If it takes Apple to do this and say to the world "wake up, OpenGL sucks," I view that as progress. Despite, I don't think your OpenGL app will fail to run on Mac any time soon. I suspect it's years away before they actually remove it entirely.
