Apple themselves tell you to use Metal instead of OpenGL on Apple platforms. It’s not beating the big corporation if the big corporation isn’t in the competition.

Agreed. It's a misrepresentation. Apple doesn't do it because it's too hard, they don't do it because they don't see value in doing it.

They probably see alternatives as providing negative value vs. total clarity from the platform owner re: how to use the GPU.
