I disagree. Just the opposite. There were already lots of attempts to
create a processor independend programming layer (i.e. USCD-Pascal with
the p-code in the seventies) but none of them survived very long. They
all had a great disadvantage: Bad performance. And it is quite evident,
that if you would have a "universal API layer" then all processors would
be the same. There would be no need to create new processors because
they all would compute the same commands from the one and only API
layer. I doubt that this idea will survive long.
