Remember when everyone was like "Vulkan is a much more powerful API than the higher level ones" when it was released?

Yet we see a new extension that "opens up" the possibility of emulating one of those high level APIs every god damn month (for DXVK, sometimes even vkd3d), it's been like two years since, what the fuck.

Just add all the features of other APIs already, I'm sick of it.

tl;dr I'm actually happy when there's no new "extension" added to it. Means it's not been lacking yet another feature.
