DirectX is a mediocre API.
Especially DX12 giving so much more control has actually backfired in a lot of instances, because game developers don't treat PCs with the same optimization care as they do consoles. Consoles have standards, PC users you can always pull a Todd Howard and tell them to upgrade to compensate for their misuse of the APIs.
Windows has traction by market saturation, not the technical merit of their Graphics API.
