OpenGL isn't relevant here, as SDL2 has a metal backend that's used by default on MacOS. See https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/1acae5590352

oh nice, i had no idea SDL had metal support!

no one in the SDL developer community tells you how to support metal or how to use it. instructions for MacOSX redirects you to another library, which has since removed their instructions.

who exactly are we kidding here?
