OpenGL on OSX is stuck in the past. It would be great to see Metal die a fiery death too, and Vulkan being adopted. The current situation is just DirectX once again.

"Allow"? They aren't doing anything to disallow them?

You can use ANGLE if you want, for instance?

I wouldn't recommend using OpenGL for any new software, though, it is hopelessly clunky and outdated for modern applications.
