The industry has most definitely not moved towards Vulkan. It’s still quite a small player in terms of market share of games.

Most windows games still target DirectX or OpenGL instead of Vulkan.

With how well Proton runs, there’s even less incentive for game devs to directly target Vulkan now.

In terms of market share sure, though the Vulkan/Metal/whatever approach is clearly the future, no? AFAIK that isn't in question, it's just a matter of how long it will take for mass adoption.

Yea going towards low overhead APIs like Metal, Vulkan and DX12 are definitely the way. DX12 has a very significant market share lead and is what most game devs on PC would target. Vulkan being a distant second and Metal being an even more distant third.
