You mean a non-official non-supported wrapper. No one is stopping you to create such a wrapper for Metal/VK. Oh wait, it exists > Yeah, and it keeps biting them in the ass when they have to Has nothing to do with the reality of Vulkan support > Well also Windows, Linux, BSD, HaikuOS, Google Fuchsia, QNX, Stadia and Tizen. The only API Windows supports natively is DirectX. It's up to the whims of the GPU vendors to provide support for Vulkan. Stadia is a very major player, true. Considering it's dead. TVs as gaming platforms (that's what Tizen is) are non-existent in the grand scheme of things. Neither is Fuchsia. Or HaikuOS. The only winner here is Linux, but that really only works through the thankless work of maintaining the DX->Vulkan wrappers. Again, nothing is stopping you from doing the same work for Metal.
