It doesn't matter if it's OpenGL ES 3.0 certified if the drivers don't expose it, and OpenGL ES isn't really well supported on the desktop compared to standard OpenGL or Vulkan. Android is a better environment for OpenGL ES. In general it does not feel there is a concerted effort to make mobile SoCs first-class citizens for desktop distros. The open source graphics drivers for rpi seem to be nowhere near getting to a polished state anytime soon, and those provided by Broadcom seem hacky. I think there is better effort going on with getting Mali GPUs supported, but that's not what the Raspberry Pis use.
