Why, does Microsoft support Vulcan? Does Google on Android?

Microsoft just uses whatever the vendors throw over the wall. So yes.

Marketing sales pitch.

Windows only supports Vulkan via the ICD driver model used by OpenGL, Win32 and UWP sandbox only support DirectX.

Microsoft is now pushing for vendors just to implement them on top of DirectX.

Vulkan is only guaranteed to be available on Android devices since version 10. The market share of Android 10 is left as exercise for the reader.
