Currently Metal is more stable then the OpenGL backend on apple devices. Also the Metal backend supports more features then the OpenGL backend. For example the viewport compositor and rendering of production files. This has been validated with users and studios. This patch will default to the Metal backend when starting Blender 3.5 for the first time or when loading factory startup. It is still possible to switch to OpenGL via the user preferences. It will not automatically select the Metal backend when there is already user preferences available for Blender 3.5.
