In the case of graphics, the only thing that's changed is the abstraction layer which is stable. Most folks won't use Vulkan directly, but rather through a layer which they have control to optimize or fix bugs in if they need to. Learning graphics programming will never start directly with Vulkan programming. I suppose there are benefits to make the standard, stable API easy to work with as a beginner, but there are plenty of great open source projects that fill that niche.
