SDL2 Now Transitioning To Maintenance Mode

[dragon321]

It becomes more and more. We're currently at a stage where we might not see OGL on new Platforms anymore. Be it Linux with special hardware, macOS game porting toolkit or just another gaming console. So it *is* critical that it will have native Vulkan support, as translation layers will bottleneck it on modern platforms

Most use cases of SDL is to provide platform abstractions for custom renderers or engines so it doesn't really matter that SDL_Renderer doesn't support Vulkan. It already has backends for most important platforms - Direct3D for Windows, Metal for macOS and OpenGL/OpenGL ES for Linux and others.

Sure I'm not saying that it shouldn't provide Vulkan backend but I'm just saying that it's probably not the most important thing now.
