Mapbox GL/MapLibre GL does one thing and does it incredibly well: vector map rendering from tiled data (MVT format) in the common Web Mercator projection.

OpenLayers is a bit more of a Swiss Army knife. It's a valuable part of many web GIS workflows, but its vector tile rendering is a long way behind MBGL's.
