Yeah, but that doesn't seem to have helped much to keep the Vulkan API small and tidy, instead there are dozens (or maybe hundreds by now?) of vendor-specific extensions.

I think this is vastly overstated. I've done quite a bit of work for Vulkan, and have done just fine without reaching for extensions.

And how else do you propose accessing hardware features which are vendor specific?
