That is from pi3g.com, a Pi reseller unaffiliated with raspberry or broadcom who is trying to get you to buy Pi 4s from them. So let's keep that in mind that they have incentive to fudge things a little.
So if you look closely, that PDF doesn't actually disagree with what I've been talking about! If you go to the spec sheet they provide for the Pi 4 (page 3 of that PDF), it says "OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics". 3.0, not 3.2. That is a perfect example of the discrepancy between hardware support and software support. The hardware could do OpenGL ES 3.2. But the video driver only supports 3.0.
We run into this a lot on Android devices. For example, toooons of Android phones ship with 64-bit CPUs, yet have 32-bit userspaces. These devices theoretically could run Dolphin, but they can't due to the userspace shipped with it. Lots of users buy these, hoping for an update that will let them run Dolphin, but it almost never comes.
So yea, if you want to buy a Pi 4, buy one for what it is, not what it might be!
