But, what I am saying is, a lot of stuff doesn't need raytracing.

 
Like I said, there are non-raytraced renderers inspired by video-game
engines. They don’t use OpenGL.

 
They are becoming few and far between wrt the big titles, so to speak.

No they aren’t. A well-known example is the “Eevee” renderer built into
Blender (alongside the ray-traced “Cycles” renderer).

DirectX 12 and Vulkan.

Those are strictly for on-screen use, like OpenGL before them.
