I'm not sure why Vulkan couldn't work on windows: isn't it mostly in the hands of driver developers (i.e. Nvidia/AMD) rather than Microsoft?

Microsoft is not just Windows, some mobile devices and more importantly the XBox as well. On Windows, the GPU makers can (and do, at least partially/beta) provide drivers with Vulkan support, yes.

It does work on Windows. Not sure about Windows Phone though.

UWP only allows for DX, but one can built other APIs on top, e.g. ANGLE for OpenGL support.
