Honestly, this might be a bit of a conspiracy theory, but the practical use-case of Vulkan's low-level access isn't because of PCs and consoles - it's because of smartphone manufacturers that make absolutely abysmal mobile drivers.

This isn’t a conspiracy it’s the reality we live in. That was one of the primary benefits sold to hardware vendors. “Easier to write a driver”. Whether that panned out though is another question. The drivers still suck on mobile.
