Microsoft is definitely the core issue here : they are trying to unify XBOX and PC gaming, and are NOT supporting Vulkan on XBOX.

WebGL 2.0 today runs on not just desktop browser but also through the web on Xbox, which has a Chromium-based Edge which can run browser games and will get turbocharged with near native performance with the arrival of WebGPU.

So you now have a platform target with one codebase that developers can target PC/Mac/Linux, mobile/tablet, and one of the biggest console platforms. I'd say that's pretty powerful.
