Maybe it wont help those people in particular but can help performance and possibly add more graphical features.

You pretty much get the wrong idea here... the DirectX backend was mend to make PPSSPP playable on device that doesn't support OpenGL2.0. DirectX12 may "can help performance and possibly add more graphical feature" but if it doesn't works on the device I mention earlier, why do you even bother to have the latest DirectX implemented in PPSSPP then?

Thats not a problem DirectX is backwards compatible so Directx12 should work on gpus with lower feature levels but it would be most useful for Windows users with new hardware.
