This advice is basically like a teenager wanting to play electric guitar to jam out a few rock tunes, but their parents insist on learning classical guitar instead because starting with the fundamentals is the only "real" way to become a great musician. Meanwhile the kid loses interest and moves on to something else.

This analogy doesn't work. Vulkan is more like assembling your own electric guitar from scratch, while OpenGL is a used out of shape electric guitar you found on the flea market that is long since out of production.

If you're in it for learning how to play music, the flea market guitar will serve you better.

Except that Vulkan is the classic guitar here, you will suffer with it before your first triangle while with OpenGL you can jam almost instantly.
