I'm still uncertain whether this will do more harm than good in the long run.
In the end, it still endorses locking things into the Windows way. Unfortunately, the problem is invisible to end users who just want to play games.

It will likely encourage Windows devs to use Vulkan instead of DirectX. This is a good thing.

I think that this allows many gamers to finally give up windows. And as less of their shit is win-only, they buy less win-only shit. Until more and more are linux-only, forcing the market to move where the customer wants it to.
Basically it's to help gamers who aren't CS majors to make the switch, slowly weening them off the M$ teet.

MS doesn't even care about windows anymore, it's not their primary focus anymore.

I hope you're right. In Stallman's words "However, if you're going to use these games, you're better off using them on GNU/Linux rather than on Microsoft Windows. At least you avoid the harm to your freedom that Windows would do."
