Apple decided it would happen now as they got the metal ready early and they want it changed now. It was Apples doing - not EA's because Apple wants to outdo Intell systems for one and two they want to be rid of open gl. I got this info right from the Apple/Mac site by the way.
What are you talking about "got the metal ready early"? Metal was introduced in macOS in 2015 and all Mac models produced since 2012 support it. Those are 7 year old machines with ageing hardware, not exactly new.

You say you got this info from Apple's website, where do Apple state that they want to outdo Intel on their main site or dev. site? Do you have a link?
