To be clear, I think you and I are mostly in agreement. The OpenGL/Vulkan advocates are consistently pushing things that really only benefit people who have decided to adopt OpenGL/Vulkan without a lot of real-world support for their positions. (Heck, I would go so far as to say that OpenGL as a vendor-agnostic API for consumer graphics cards might not have been possible if Microsoft hadn't forced some level of standardization across graphics card vendors in order to get Windows logo certifiation, and if Microsoft hadn't pushed Direct3D, we could all be stuck using Glide for some cards, a different API for other cards.)
