vulkanmod exists, and vulkan is low level just like directx 12... why would you actively want something that only works on one platform like this?

There is one legitimate reason: some especially terrible GPU drivers on Windows only support the bare minimum (DX11?) needed to get the desktop working reasonably smoothly but don't implement OpenGL.
A driver like mesa (or a mod like this) allows users of those systems to play OpenGL games without having to buy new hardware or rely on software rendering.

counter-point: if the gpu is terrible enough to have no support for opengl, what makes you think it would run any better than llvmpipe/software rendering?

Experience with using layered drivers on systems like that?
