And most new phone chipsets. And a lot of old phone chipsets. And a lot of ARM-based single board computers. And a lot of non-Xbox consoles like the Switch have hardware support for DirectX...

DirectX is in a lot of places you would not expect.

What? All of those places have hardware support for DirectX, but none of them (barring Windows phones) actually have DirectX running on them.

iOS and Android both don't support DirectX, so the hardware technically being compatible is irrelevant, especially with Windows Phone now discontinued.
