The only platform that has marked it as legacy doesn't support Vulkan (directly) either so I'm not convinced it's dead yet. The simpler API for the minor performance trade-off is still compelling for lots of uses.

WebGPU is a simpler API for doing modern rendering, with less tradeoff.

OpenGL is not simple if you want to actually do useful things with it.
