If you have a GL2 context, and isGLES2() returns true it is an error,
since this would lead software to believe you have an ES (embedded system)
context.

This would be a bug, which I cannot confirm.

However, it could be that you do use an ES profile even on desktop,
i.e. via Mesa or NV driver - which can deliver you an ES3 context.
