Meanwhile, on Raspberry Pi's website...
So here's where the confusion is coming from: the hardware could theoretically support OpenGL ES 3.2. THEORETICALLY. But the video driver currently does not support OpenGL ES 3.2, because the video driver can't make compliance with 3.1, let alone 3.2. The one who made their driver stack has left Broadcom, so Broadcom is not going to put in the effort to change this. It's possible at some point in the future that someone outside broadcom will go through the effort to bring OpenGL ES 3.2 or Vulkan support to the driver, but it would have to be a random outsider, and there's no telling when or IF that will happen. Currently no one is working on it.Spoiler:
Do not purchase a Pi 4 with the expectation that this situation will change. Enjoy the Pi 4 for what it is, and be happy if it improves!
Also do not expect that Vulkan, if it does come, will magically make the Pi 4 run Dolphin games at full speed. That's not happening.

You'll find the document there, or if you scroll down the link in my earlier post, the picture I took was the page of importance from what I was talking about. There is also a Videocore 5 drivers that do support 3.2 and are currently being modified to support videocore 6. Yeah it's new hardware and the official support could be better, but it's also a raspberry pi piece of hardware, that community has shown that they are willing to put in the work, hope that document is interesting to you, I wasn't trying to hoodwink you, just found that and figured I'd share.
