Maybe so, but in some circles Macbooks are the most prevalent computer, and these Linux advances are thus hugely relevant.

Yes, you've got to try very hard to be worse than MacOS that is openly sabotaging OpenGL and Vulkan efforts.

Even with Switch's adoption of Vulkan, most games are actually using middleware that makes use of NVN.

If a platform is relevant to professional games developers, they will target it, regardless of which APIs and OS it requires.
