The claim that the developers shaping the WSL specification are experts is questionable given that the actual experts in shading languages -- i.e., the implementers building GPU hardware -- are looking at SPIR-V and seem to be pretty frustrated by the NIH syndrome of the web developer community here.

Do you have some evidence for this assertion? Because Apple happens to make its own GPUs and shading language... a shading language that also runs on other people's GPUs. Seems like relevant expertise to me.
Apple is huge. It's not clear to me whether the Apple GPU folks are involved, or whether it's just Apple's web people playing at graphics.
