Part of what makes an API good is how portable code written against it is and with Metal that is exactly zero. Phrasing it as "if you can put up with Apple" is disingenuous. It's more like "if you're willing and can afford to only target one single platform that isn't even the most widely used, has very limited hardware choices and is outside the price range of significant chunks of the population".
