It seems to me then that OpenGL should have been a library instead of a driver all along. Its original intent unfortunately has no bearing on what it has become in the meantime.

Well yeah that's what deprecated means. At the moment, developers have a bit longer to get on with the times though, so that's nice I guess.

In the decades since graphics hardware has all evolved to look more or less the same to SW (so vulkan became a nice fit), but that wasn't always the case.
