Again, DX 12 is MSoft's API, not a propietary software rom AMD. Did they just happen to have better hardware for it? Absolutely, but that doesn't make it their own software.

Also, I'm sure MSoft is pushing devs to move on from DX 11 to DX 12, mostly because of the X1, so there's little else AMD can do there as well. Devs simply seem to not care that much for DX 12.

DX12 is still proprietary (owned by Microsoft) but I guess you mean no conflict of interest with it ? 

There's another way around it like exposing these hardware features in DX11 through the driver layer ... (much like how Nvidia got HFTS to work in Watch Dogs 2 through NVAPI since the graphical feature required conservative raster.) 

Yes, DX 12 is MSoft's thing, and both AMD and Nvidia can, and will, use it. It's not like that GameWorks sh!t that only Nvidia cards can use, even if sometimes it does more harm than good (like the HairWorks fiasco).

As for the second part, my knowledge is well below that level, so I can't comment .
