Apparently Apple doesn't really want anything to do with it[1]. I don't know that I'd hold my breath on the major game consoles picking it as the defacto way of doing things, over their close-to-the-metal graphics APIs, either. I'd be shocked if Microsoft bagged DirectX. And ultimately, Unreal and Unity are going to have whatever backends they need for whatever systems they are on, and most developers are going to be working through whatever the engine exposes, so they won't really care. Besides, there are many other dimensions of platform-dependentness. You've either got to go lowest-common denominator, or you've got to special case for the platforms that are more capable.
