Some companies have already dropped future support of the mac version of their software based on Apple making it official that OpenGL is truly dead.

"According to a note posted on Autodesk's support website, while older Alias versions can run on High Sierra or earlier, "no versions of VRED will run on that operating system due to the OpenGL deprecation."

While openGL is not going to stop working on Mojave, it has served as a good excuse for autodesk to stop bothering with the work of developing mac versions and refusing to provide any support or patching of any future issue that might arise on current releases being run on mojave.

Apple is working very hard at killing the mac both because of what they've done to the hardware and what they're doing to their OS for any user that's not some grandma that does nothing outside browsing facebook on a $1500 macbook..
