But why would Firefox go out of its way to use Vulkan on Windows or macOS when it doesn’t have to because it can just use the native OS functionality and let the OS worry about implementation details?

I don't really care much about Windows and macOS. But I'd like to see it using Vulkan video on Linux in addition or instead of VAAPI.

As pointed out elsewhere, it's not possible on macOS either way. Apple are too stuck up not supporting Vulkan and it won't work with MoltenVK.
