We seen 24 months go by and OpenCL has yet to have a fully flushed out OpenCL 1.2 kernel supported solution that isn't part of the Pro Stack. Even the Pro stack is stuck on 1.2.
but it's not surprising the President of Khronos being from Nvidia have been dragging their feet to support OpenCL since its inception: they only want CUDA.

How can an almost 1$ TRILLION company not invest a couple of fucking developers to make a wrapper to keep their "legacy technologies" alive at least for "legacy applications", and yet we have a couple of developers working for free doing it with DirectX? (I'm talking about VK9 and DXVK, not vkd3d)
...
when they're in fact close to 1$ trillion market cap, surely you can hire one or two fucking guys to maintain it and it wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket for them?!??

But now if OpenGL future is dead in MacOS, they won't even bother to use OpenGL anymore.
So devs will only use Direct X for Windows and Metal for Mac.
The little number of Linux gamer is not enough for the effort.
Apple is losing again. Acolytes are still buying so they can lower the quality of the product while leaving the same price. Just look at there latest offering lol, Macbook keyboard that die for nothing that can't be replaced (riveted) and iMac Pro that can't be fixed by apple (product that you send for repair to the apple store is returned more damaged)

This is the price that the users will have to pay for acceptance of having of a monopolistic OS which they -users- do not own, no matter how it is called Windows, Android and in this case Mac OS. Microsoft, Google, Apple etc,from their position and in a dictatorial manner, do what heck they want with their proprietary OS's abusing users how they own interests dictate.
In moments, unexpectedly everything whole system can became a complete mess if the owner company decides so overnight. I used Mac OS for years and it's unfix-able in many cases strange UI, bizarre mouse or keyboard. There was a time when Apple used to innovate all the time, but that's no longer the case anymore now.
