I would propose Apple to have worked together with Khronos on Vulkan. The could have also cooperated with AMD and based Metal on Mantle (released a year before) - as soon as it was apparent that Mantle will be the base for Vulkan (which was long before its release IIRC) they could have slowly merged it all back together. The least they can do is to also support Vulkan on macOS. > Don't see people complaining here about Direct3D being windows-only. Ehm, the article we are commenting on complains about it being Windows only.
