I am not scared about Apple getting a monopoly. They are not going to sell as much as Android because they only care about the high margin stuff.
I am more worried about Microsoft though, with Windows and Xbox they force millions of people to use DirectX.
Yeah, we agreed on that . It took millions for our company to support OpenGL/CL only because we did not want to make our code dependent on just one provider. It was tough to justify that decision (financially). Decision that only started to pay back with Android popularity.

So I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see Vulkan → DX12 layer in addition to Vulkan → Metal one. As well as other way around.
