There can be another reason for not saying that they support Vulkan: Vulkan 
isn't ready, and they want people to use Metal for low-overhead 3D graphics, 
which is currently a competitive edge over Android - Marshmallow will 
unlikely have Vulkan (Vulkan is not finished yet), so we'll have to wait 
until Android Nutella (or whatever the name of Android N will be ;-).

So when they would announce now that they will be backing Vulkan, and Metal 
is just an intermediate API, people will wait for Vulkan, and not port to 
Metal, leveling the field.

I'm also not sure about the strength of Microsoft - even with the free 
update to Windows 10, most of their customers are conservative, and will 
stay with Windows 7.  Vulkan will be available to Windows 7 (it's just a 
driver update, Vulkan is tugged on the side of OpenGL in the drivers), but 
DirectX 12 won't.  That means Vulkan's customer base will be quickly much 
larger than DirectX 12.
