I believe SetGraphicsDriver exists for future compatibility - if that makes sense. OK, so at the moment only an OpenGL renderer exists for Linux, but I believe there are one or two people working on wrappers for other drivers or drivers in their own right, a software renderer, for example. There was a thread around here somewhere that mentioned just such a thing.

For the moment, just use it for Windows' versions to either enforce or allow selectivity of one API or the other.
