Back then there wasn't anything *but* "proprietary software bullshit". If you wanted accelerated graphics, you either had to use a vendor-supplied api, or get no acceleration.
Then they started to get to the point where the consumer cards had the capabilities required for OpenGL, and MS bought out Direct3d, and suddenly there were real cross-vendor APIs that you could use.
