Google is part of the Khronos group. They were well positioned to steer the standard towards one that doesn't suck. Or they could have championed a different standard. Google has the scale that only Google is to blame that they are still heavily dependent on a closed standard.

Open Standards almost always beat closed ones. IMO AMD was right to bet on open standards. They lost the bet but I think it was the right bet.

> the Khronos group

I still wake up at night, sweating, thinking about my time learning OpenGL in university. The docs were a nightmare back then
