and echoing a comment above, it's basically: "We're going back to the last version of OpenCL that actually has cross-platform support"

Some cross platform, it was never supported on Android, and most likely never will be.

OpenCL is available in pixel 3 and pixel 4 phones, but I agree you can't count on it for all Android devices

If it isn't documented in https://developer.android.com/ it doesn't count.

Using OpenCL custom drivers from OEMs requires ADB shell access and deployment of custom libraries, hardly something that any application on Play Store can count on.
