    That is because it’s an open standard, not open source. You can read the documentation and implement a driver for a new platform, but you’re not porting vulkan to it. Likewise, there is tons of windows only open source code that will never work anywhere else because they target windows specific code.

      I know what an open standard is (i hope ) from watching Andreas kling code his from scratch browser “ladybird”. Posix is one. Html , css, js too. Basically, anything that give you specs and let you implement them. I know wine try to implement (reverse engineer) the windows syscalls to make windows apps work on linux down to the weird quirks and bugs.
