Desktop GPUs. Tiling GPUs are still in use on mobile and you can't use the tiling hardware effectively without baking the description into pipelines.
> You could cut things down a ton with a new API.
VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering is what you are looking for
> Actually, it would be kinda neat to see an API that's fully designed assuming a coherent, cached, shared memory space between device and host.
You can just ask for exactly that--even on Vulkan. If you don't want to support computer systems that don't support RBAR, you can do that.
