There are definitely such cases.

But there are way more cases where vendor specific extensions
are used without it being necessary.

Anyway the abstraction layer is obviously not improving
performance, so I assume that it is hiding the vendor
specific stuff.

But hiding vendor specific stuff and only support 2 vendors
is still not great.
