Not every decision has to be filled with malice, sometimes it just makes sense.

It was of no cost for them to simply copy most of the ideas from Mantle to make Metal, saving all that huge effort on initial design, isn't it? Somehow that doesn't surprise you. But when they are criticized for not doing it in the opposite direction (by sharing the effort and supporting the common API), you are surprised.
