Some of this seem to Arc trying to be "legacy free" and not including much in Arc drivers / hardware to specifically cater for legacy APIs. AMD and Nvidia drivers are almost certainly eldritch abominations full of legacy. Intel also seem to have at least partly started anew on the drivers as well, although I doubt gaming performance was a major aim for Intel iGPU drivers before Arc. They probably though that Microsoft have an emulation layer, so that will be good enough, right? I bet the Microsoft team were probably more thinking "we want casual games like The Sims to work on ARM netbooks with a modern API only GPU, and nobodies going to be using those sort of things for maximum performance 110% stuff...".
