Mostly because normal opengl output uses VAO. Rhen there is no need
for different file/code for opengl es if it can work with same code.
Video output is not that 'hard' in opengl perspective anyway, issues
come with texture loading in mobiles.

On OES extensions, do you know any opengl ES 2.0 device that does not
implement those 3?

Yes, I'm pretty sure there ain't that big difference between those two
ways in this case. But then again, if you can optimize out calls and
memory IO, why wouldn't you do that.

Also this is done for the reason, that I wanted to learn to use
vao/vbo/opengl better, and this was simple in opengl perspective to learn it.
