Indeed: openGL on all Apple platforms was finally deprecated on 
2018 after Apple introduced its own proprietary Metal API.

I been reading about it:

Skia developed by google for C++ using openGL

- most similar in purpose to Cairo or PathFinder (meaning that it 
focuses on drawing) rather than to other more elaborate 
infrastructures like QT that provide their own widgets [skia @ 
wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skia_Graphics_Engine)
- used by google Chrome, Chrome OS, Chromium OS, Mozilla FireFox 
∧ ThunderBird, Android, FireFox OS, LibreOffice, etc

- supports several platform-dependent back-ends; including:
  - CPU-based software rasterization
  - GPU-accelerated openGL, openGL ES, Vulkan, and Metal
  - PDF output
  - SVG output ... partially implemented
