But since there are more Android phones, there are more devices supporting Vulkan than devices supporting Metal.


Only if you ignore the facts that Vulkan is only a required API since Android 10, it is an ecosystem full of buggy drivers, there are no updates, what exact version of Vulkan and extension spaghetti varies widely by phone, and only Samsung and Google Pixel phones, do actually offer a sane Vulkan experience.

Everyone that wants to keep their 3D sanity keeps targeting OpenGL ES, which is exactly why Google is now doing ANGLE on top of Vulkan as means to pressure OEMs to deliver proper Vulkan drivers.
