Do you even know how Vulkan works?

The driver API exposes a layered stack. It's trivial to add a validation layer between the driver and the client. It's SO much better than existing OpenGL or DirectX driver models for this one reason alone.

Yes, I do. I'm also slightly familiar with OpenGL and Metal.

I think Metal has a better API. You are free to disagree of course.

Metal has nice API only if you are using [ObjectiveC|Swift]. The moment you step outside (Rust, Python, ...), you have additional jumps to make.

No, I don't like your opinion, therefore you're off topic and should leave the dicussion.
