I keep hearing that GPU doesn't matter, but I don't understand why. It uses Vulkan and OpenGL behind the scenes–wouldn't those rely heavily on the GPU?

They do rely heavily on the GPU, bit the game was designed (in terms of poly count, VRAM usage, shader complexity) for a several year old mobile GPU.
