The point is that if you are writing a game for several platforms, using a
platform-specific API in one of your targets doesn't help when you need to
get it working in another target that doesn't have such an API. If you're
going to use a full source code implementation in one target (possibly an
open-source implementation), you might just use it in all of them.
