I agree it's not free. But will you make return on the effort/time/money invested?

EDIT: Do you think debugging vulan/opengl is free? Software houses like valve have had to make their own tooling to debug and optimise for vulkan and opengl.

It's not about some effort. It's about wasteful multiplication of that effort, caused by balkanized API landscape.
