I appreciate this comment.

We did indeed discuss this widely. No one thought that an API which only works on top of Vulkan was right, everyone in the relevant sector thinks it has to support the big three. Very few thought modeling the API closely on Vulkan was the best technical path.

I honestly don't understand why everyone here is so obsessed with Vulkan. Cloning it on the web won't make it more successful in the market. Building a Web API that is able to work on top of it (without mandating it) will likely help Vulkan in the end.

I think you mistake is that you're conflating an angry, vocal (and frankly somewhat belligerent), minority with the opinions of the majority.

I suspect part of the issue is that since video games intersect so heavily with graphics APIs it will bring out the angry gamer crowds and with your being an Apple employee, it brings out the extreme anti Apple crowds. There will be people with legitimate claims, but I think they're being drowned out by the noise.
