It cannot break working code by not having OpenGL 1.0 features, because OpenGL ES is not a revision to or successor of OpenGL 1.0. Note that OpenGL 4, which is a (distant) successor to OpenGL 1, does include OpenGL 1s features, marked as deprecated.

OpenGL > 3.1 does not require implementation of compatibility profile, which includes deprecated funtionality. OSX doesn't.
