The point is more this: the majority of interactive applications 
you can do easily in Java/C#/Swift/Javascript are going to be 
written in those languages for _very_ good reasons. I would too.

If desktop applications are a target then you need a feature set 
that makes it easier to write those applications that are 
difficult to do well in Java/C#/Swift/Javascript.

That makes you an attractive platform for new application 
frameworks.

It takes years before you get full adoption after standardization.

Vulkan/Metal does not matter. What matters is that you do better 
CPU/GPU integration for common hardware than the competing 
solutions. It could be just latest generation of iOS/OSX for a 
start. That alone is a pretty big market.
