The end result is the same though? If you want to publish a game through the web, your game (or your game engine) has to target webgl. If you go native, your game (or your game engine) can target metal instead and gain a massive performance advantage.
No, you don't target metal - you use the Unreal engine which is now using metal underneath in an implementation detail that most developers wont worry about.

Well, the statement was kind of wrong.
Metal isnt really an OpenGL replacement. Most people would use it in their apps - you don't write games in metal, you write game engines in it.
