I don't believe multiple windows/contexts is a problem anymore (was it ever?). I think CAD apps traditionally favored OpenGL simply because of their history. Way back (when SGI was relevant), the only place to get decent graphics performance was on very expensive Unix workstations. These days, the best performing graphics cards are for Windows and they are relatively inexpensive. I think that's why some CAD packages are dropping OpenGL support (Autodesk- I'm looking at you).
