Talking about OpenGL feels very regressive - the 'G' in GPU is hardly "graphics" any more, so presenting through the lens of rendering is backwards. These days, GPU is more like "General (data parallel) Processing Unit", and rendering is just a relatively uninteresting special case.
Think of it this way: wouldn't the world be a better place if Linux provided a way to create a GPU process without reference to displays?
