Hi, the intention was here to pave to way for a software renderer for platforms that have no GL at all (virtual machines, remote logins, etc, see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36091 ).
The initial versions of https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,76732 had a separate QOpenGLProxy module, but we decided to move it into Qt5Gui since otherwise the user would have to deploy yet another library. But having a separate module would not help in the scenario you described (3rd party renderer of some sort e.g. VTK, OpenSceneGraph...), either?
