A comment on Apple proposes new web 3D graphics API. Parent comment
Microsoft is only middle-man, the drivers are written by GPU vendors in the first place. Why should I prefer middle-man to the original source?
Historically, the drivers provided by Microsoft via Windows Update were worse (older) than those provided by GPU vendors directly.

So do Khronos group and GPU vendors for Vulkan.
