Older PowerVR devices were blocked from using vulkan for compatibility reasons. This was implemented as an allow list as we tested new working devices. This is practical but unfortunately will break when IMG releases a new GPU. We'd want it to get Vulkan not OpenGLES. We should try to find some way to swap the logic.
