I agree with everything you've said. Apple has been lackluster in their support when it comes to supporting innovative new graphic techniques. OS X users just can't go to their GPU manufacturer's site and download drivers; Apple does write the front end, and they choose what is exposed. However, there is nothing about Apple's current implementation of OpenGL that makes it prohibitive to port most games from from Windows, or in our case FF14. If Square needs "compute" for all the particle effects on the OS X port, they're more than likely using OpenCL. OS X users do have access to DX11 class features - its just exposed differently.
