DirectX isn't much better with regard to the extension spaghetti. At the very least when you see a OpenGL or Vulkan version you can be assured that w/e that version includes is supported. With DX you can have something claim DX12 support but in reality it only actually supports some variation of DX10 or 11 through the feature level nonsense.

It is such a nonsense that Khronos finally learned its value, and Vulkan now has profiles.

OpenGL has profiles as well. The Core and Compatibility profile.

Didn't know Vulkan had them too. TIL.
