Mesa has Zink which translates OpenGL to Vulkan. AFAIK Asahi uses it because they only wrote a native Vulkan driver for the hardware, no native OpenGL driver.
replyApple themselves also don't ship a native OpenGL driver anymore, only a layer that translates OpenGL to Metal.

replyEven if you use OpenGL you still need to write shaders.

Shaders aren't the issue with Vulkan. Writing 50 lines of code for things that should be one-liners is.

replyApple's OpenGL on macOS and iOS has been a shim over Metal for a very long time. The feature set is stuck somewhere between GL 3.x and 4.1 though (e.g. no compute shaders), but not for technical reasons.
