What is the best alternative to Vulkan extensions in your opinion? Remember that Vulkan supports vast number of devices. I think that making featureset mandatory for all devices is not sensible approach here.

That's how you got OpenGL: by putting everything into extensions. You have to make certain extensions a part of the standard

Appealing to Authority[1] is a fallacy/bias and a quick way to lose a debate.

Instead of saying you have all these creds and therefore your opinion matters more - explain why what you are arguing against is bad. If you are an actual expert, that will be shown through well formed arguments all on it's own.

Not all experts share your opinion, clearly, which makes this angle unhelpful.

Nah, as my experience in 30 years of industry shows, those that come up with appeal to authority argument, aren't really interested in listening anyway.

Life is too short to bother.
