Aren’t most games on Vulkan these days?

There’s still plenty of other Windows-only APIs that games rely on.

Unfortunately not. The vast majority of games are DX12. Even DX11 is likely still more popular than Vulkan.

A lot of engines support Vulkan builds, but the default is DX. Almost every game is DX.
