The AMD laptops don't need to be in the G series to have an iGPU - they all do. The G series only exists for desktops.

AFAIK there is no such software that only supports Macs. You can query these features at runtime, and it's easier to do so than to rewrite your renderer for Metal.
Ah yeah I always get tripped up by AMDs offerings.
I didn’t say the software needed to only support Mac, but if they have a metal backend (as many things have multiple backends) they know they can spend the time to get a bigger ROI due to the number of shared memory macs as a percentage of all macs.
