If Apple actually wanted to bring games to MacOS, they'd give Valve and CodeWeavers a billion dollars and get the Steam Client working, put tons of effort into a d3dvk-for-Metal solution, and have it working with as little overhead as possible. They don't do this because they can't funnel them through the App Store. The graphics API they use for the operating isn't relevant (Vulkan isn't used very much for most games.)

The funny thing is that with the rise of Proton and Steam Deck driving its development -- there's literally no reason anymore for a game developer to ever target any "Desktop PC" platform except x86_64 Portable Executable files, using DirectX. Because Proton will just handle the port with nearly zero effort. Even on ARM64 devices like Snapdragon, the CPU is often not the limiting factor (and binary translation is only in the realm of 15%) so emulation for games is totally viable if the GPU can handle the load.
