But if OpenGL was used, wouldn't that have to go through Zink and MoltenVK for Apple? Or is there a Zink-like OpenGL wrapper for Metal?

SDL will let you push geometry directly without needing OpenGL now with its geometry API, and I think all of its drawing functions use that by default now. I don't know if that's adequate compared to OpenGL but it isn't entirely CPU bound. Dear ImGUI's SDL renderer uses it.
