Does WebGPU have Feature Parity with other Modern Graphics API's (Vulkan/DX12/Metal)

[TheFloatingBrain]

A friend and I are considering using webgpu native (more specifically C++ bindings) for a project. We were wondering, since WebGPU likely runs on top of Vulkan XOR DirectX12 XOR Metal at any given time, and others have called it a "union" (interpreting the word in the set-theoretic sense) of the three if there were significant feature/functionality gaps with WebGPU as compared with these APIs? In other words, if Vulkan has a feature DirectX 12 does not or vise-versa, does WebGPU exclude it? What I am asking is: are there significant features (or functionality differences) these other APIs have, that WebGPU does not, or do they have feature parity?

Full disclosure I did also post this on a SE thread, but I thought I may get more WebGPU specialized knowledge here (especially since its relatively new)

Y'all seem to be doing great work! :)

Thanks!
