- shmerl 7y agoTheorizing about non malicious motives doesn't change the facts - the result is lock-in. And when it consistently happens all the time for supposedly "other reasons", excuses about it not being done for the sake of lock-in stop being even a tiny bit convincing. To put it differently - who cares about motives at this point, when the result is a nasty lock-in which Apple refuses to remove.

But they have explicitly said in the past: they really prefer we not put cross platform apps on the App Store. I don’t know why you won’t consider the odds that Apple is trying to hamper cross platform apps with Metal deliberately as a policy when they’ve specifically said that’s their strategic goal.
