And something, something Todd Howard saying the game was optimized for PC and we gamers needed to get rich and buy new hardware.

The problems are CPU not GPU. Vulkan isn't going to make much difference.

The problem is Gamebryo and the way Bethesda develops games. They've got a teetering pile of inefficiencies because they're not interested in the most efficient way to make something work, they just want it to work, and if Dale building the entire AI combat logic out of IF statements does the job while thrashing your CPU, that's ok the game is built for 30fps.
