MacOS uses an absolutely decrepit version of OpenGL and a special vendor-locked graphics API (Metal) that nobody else uses.

It's not surprising they get low-priority when Apple makes it a pain to do write a crossplatform app that is supported on their platform.

gfx-rs is a project to provide graphics APIs in Rust, supports Metal as a backend, and there is active work to make WebRender/Firefox work with it.
