why always only DX11, why not DX12? Parallels and VMWARE can also do only DX11??

DX11 is much more high level while DX12 implements direct control over the GPU. 12 is much more like vulkan.

I guess since this is emulating the device instead of just passing the commands to vulkan it is easier to do DX11, but I could be wrong about this particular implementation.

DX12 is much more complex to implement. Very different API.
