You're... not required to use the extensions right? How else are you supposed to provide the _option_ to use _optional_ features? Feels like there's gonna be a branch in there somewhere. Lowest common denominator APIs are a non-starter for high performance graphics work.

Yep, hence given the size of a game engine, it is hardly any different having to deal with multiple flavours of OpenGL/Vulkan, or just use the best API in each platform.

Ergo middleware is the new cross-platform API.
