What are the issues with Vulkan-on-DX12? Metal is missing geometry shaders and the tesselation shaders are kind of weird, plus GPU heap allocation is iOS only so I understand the difficulties there (although as kvark mentioned there is a decent Vulkan-on-Metal implementation for the rest of the API in the works). AFAIK DX12 has all of that.
Also Windows GPU drivers already support Vulkan (all the way back to the 600 series in Nvidia's case IIRC), so I don't see why that would be a technical deal breaker. And it definitely won't be a "political" deal breaker for Firefox or Chromium on Windows.
