Did you know that if the game developers coded directly to the gpu we could basically have 10 times better graphics on games. So why are they not coding directly? Because they have to do it through DirectX. Seriously screw DX, I'd rather have 10x better graphics.

low-level programing (native code) has a lot of "buts"

1-you would need to code the engine twice (or tweak it a lot) for nvidia and amd.

2-multi gpu support would be a pain

3 it would take forever.

4 it needs to be hardware-supported.

5 low budget game devs couldn'd afford it.

6 and (probably,not sure) the game (or engine) wouldn't work with future hardware.

Yeah low level coding is incredibly hard, basically only possible on consoles because the hardware doesn't change. Maybe someday they'll do it on PS4 or Xbox next, it would be a waste of time to do it on the current gen, which are going out, also are relatively weak
