I am using WebGPU from D, it's an interesting solution and works well, but it has some drawbacks. First of all, because you have to match so many APIs, it only offers a common subset of functionality. Secondly, because it's primarily a Web API, it has a lot of validation, which wouldn't be needed for a desktop application. Thirdly, while it's still a low-level API, it doesn't offer the kind of control that AAA engine devs would like. It takes care of synchronization , memory management, transition barriers. AAA devs would prefer manual control over that.
