Apple had a shot at dethroning DirectX when they helped Khronos write the Vulkan spec. They eventually abandoned it in favor of Metal, but things would look very different if Mac, Linux and Windows all shared the same GPU APIs today. Even without Macs, both Windows and Linux have functional DirectX translators that MacOS could have also enjoyed for the past half-decade.

Part of the problem is dethroning Windows. The other part of the problem is not being so greedy that you make Microsoft look reasonable by comparison.

Day dreaming?

Apple had nothing to do with Vulkan.
