Huh I admit this is really surprising.

I guess the iPhone market won't get Vulkan hence the interest?

MoltenVK[0] is a way to use the Vulkan API and shaders on Metal.

MoltenVK doesn't currently support Vulkan compute shaders, I don't see why it couldn't in the future—compute shaders are SPIR-V and actually easier to support than graphics shaders IMO. I suspect they just haven't gotten to it yet.
