Khronos is where APIs go to die, and new ideas stagnate.
OpenCL 2 turned into an inaccessible mess, in contradiction of where Apple had originally targeted it to go. Even Nvidia turned their noses up at it.
Khronos denied the early shared development of what turned into Metal when Mantle was shown to be super promising, and then released Vulkan years later as a response that has had incredibly slow adoption due to the same over complexity that OpenCL died from.
I like that you specifically blame Apple though and ignore that Nvidia were one of the reasons that the Khronos partnership for both the things I mentioned didn’t work out. NVIDIA chose to not support OpenCL2. And they’re the ones who pushed hard on AZDO OpenGL when AMD and Apple were pushing for Mantle/Metal instead
