100%. Metal is actually self-described as a high level graphics library for this very reason. I’ve never actually used it on non-Apple hardware, but the abstractions for vendor support is there. And they are definitely abstract. There is no real getting-your-hands-dirty exposure of the underlying hardware
Wow, what a brain fart. So much of metal has improved since M-series, I just forgot it was even the same framework entirely. Even the stack is different now that we have metal cpp and swift++ interop with unified memory access.
