Highering the minimum requirement from OpenGL ES 2 to 3 is also a terrible idea imo, whatever the reason behind it, they can leave the support for 2.0 and support alongside 3.0, there's no issue with it, it won't affect anything.
I'm just glad and greatful that somebody works on it but if I were them, I wouldn't put out anything before I'd write an ARM JIT or an actual GPU backend, it's just way less than an actual POC.
The only GL ES 2.0 devices that can run it with the required GL extensions are Tegra 4 and SGX55x so I don't see the issue.
Every other GL ES 2.0 GPU will only be able to do software rendering because they are missing the right GL extension.
