So educate yourself by reading true articles like https://www.pcworld.com/article/394895/what-is-valve-proton-steam-deck-games-software-explained.html to learn the differences and be careful from now on where and how you get your information because you're inclined to believe in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_pollution created by Apple. Apple is creating Yet-Another-Windows-Emulator claiming to be faster from tons of other Emulators told in https://github.com/mikeroyal/Apple-Silicon-Guide which doesn't change the fact that games won't be running Natively so they'll either be slow or problematic (no emulation is perfect).
Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with open source. The main beneficiaries of Apple supporting Vulkan would be people porting closed-source games.
