Is the big corporation even racing you? Does it care? What devs and superusers want is regularly at odds with what makes sense for the actual business cases of a product.
I want all these things, too! But I recognize that it doesn't happen because what I want fails to make a solid business case, not because Apple is somehow incapable of writing an OpenGL driver for their own hardware.
If I'm in charge of the resourcing that could be committed to broader graphics standards support for M1/M2, what is the concrete (not hypothetical) case one can present to sell me that this is the right thing to focus on? I won't pretend to have the answer to this. There may very well be a very strong case to make. But it just doesn't quite feel right how I notice, on a daily basis, this lack of exploration or even just appreciation of all the factors and constraints that exist outside the technical portion of the problem. Maybe I'm just sensitive to this kind of issue because I feel this pain often at work.
