For example: On GLES3+ we can use UBOs to optimize shader parameters. Added to that fact, Vulkan still has years to go until it's properly supported in most desktop and mobile platforms, which makes it unattractive to implement for us (as it means considerably more effort to write, debug and maintain). Shader abstraction.
