They have converged to the point that the APIs are extremely similar. To the point that you can add a translation layer from Vulkan to Metal (MoltenVK) and lose very little performance, for example.
The concurrency primitives are very similar. The way they all manage memory is a little different, but not horribly so.
And now that DirectX and Vulkan are both supporting SPIR-V as the shader intermediate format, things really have converged.
