? Every API is an abstraction layer. No matter if you call it DX, GNM, GNMX or Vulkan so either you say that every console has this disadvantage or no console has that.

 

From what we learnt from ND, the Development environment of PS3 allowed for basically direct coding instead of using middleware

This applies to both consoles last gen and this gen. You are allowed to use inline-assembly as you wish as you are allowed to use the high-level APIs.
