I get your point. But you might be surprised how many PCs are still in use that have pre-Skylake Intel IGPs. Some people just don't update their drivers, either.
Pre-Skylake Intel never had proper Vulkan support (on Linux at least) so it's a non issue.
I use a 2015 Skylake laptop for most of my graphics programming project and it's got full Vulkan 1.3 and wide set of features. The hardware doesn't do mesh shaders or Ray tracing but apart from that every new feature is available.
Not updating drivers is a problem, especially on mobile. Thankfully auto updaters are very common these days.
