What’s your alternative to having the representatives elect one member to exclude from debates and decide when to recess?

I don’t see why it isn’t. This is the norm everywhere else. For a slightly extreme example, Prime Ministers can do the same thing. You have to have someone decide when to recess. If representatives disagree, they just vacate 'em. To counterbalance, the Speaker does not usually participate in floor debates, and is mostly responsible for other procedural and administrative stuff as well.

I think it’s more like Vulkan was a Metal knockoff. Metal released (for mobile) June 2014 and Vulkan research kicked off July 2014. Vulkan was only announced March 2015, and I would think it took more than three months of work for Apple to release Metal for macOS June 2015. And then Vulkan’s specs and SDK were released in February 2016. Though I doubt Apple was pushing for Metal to become an open cross-platform standard either.
