Looks like it does support raster tiles: https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/map-tiles/

You are right.

It came to me, that after all, they have to, if they want to display ortophoto or satellite tiles.

I was thinking more in the terms of street maps or thematic maps, where mapbox-gl-js displays them in a very nice way using vector tiles.
