Low-level APIs are used to build lots of varied high-level APIs.

They are also used to build stuff like https://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2016/09/09/doom-2016-gr... and https://mamoniem.com/behind-the-pretty-frames-death-strandin... which really cannot be built with non-specific high-level APIs.

More specifically: This type of article is typically based on render captures using graphics debuggers such as RenderDoc.

Graphics debuggers themselves are a great example of programs written using low level graphics APIs.
