But, Python is not gone. There is a new version, I can still use the next version of Python. Like you said, OpenGL does have an upgrade path to Vulkan. It isn't like because Python 2 was depreciated, you have to switch to C#. It isn't gone. You can use the new version. Or older version until ready to migrate. Maybe it seems like it because of a name change, and you don't want to call Vulkan, OpenGL So why give up on OpenGL altogether, when there is continuing development.

Vulkan is a totally different API from OpenGL. It's not hardly a mere name change and the initial work that became Vulkan originated outside of Kronos anyway. There is no "upgrade path" from OpenGL to Vulkan short of a total rewrite. This wasn't done maliciously or carelessly; the two APIs target fundamentally different abstract models of how graphics hardware works.

  "totally different API" Going from Python 2 to 3 wasn't a cake walk. Hence so many years to migrate. But I get what you are saying. Some upgrade paths are easier/harder than others.

    > Going from Python 2 to 3 wasn't a cake walk. Yes, even despite of many similarities and shared stuff, which can't really be said about OpenGL and Vulkan.
