> OpenGL offering at least lines...

WebGPU does have line (and point) primitives since they are a direct GPU feature.

It just doesn't bother to 'emulate' lines or points that are wider than 1 pixel, since this is not commonly supported in modern native 3D APIs. Drawing thick lines and points are better done by a high level vector drawing API.
