With the Battle for Azeroth Pre-Patch, we added support for DirectX 12, solely to improve performance on certain hardware. NVIDIA’s DirectX 11 support is already heavily optimized for WoW, to the point that there is currently no performance increase to be gained through our current implementation of DirectX 12 for WoW on NVIDIA systems.
My guess is that that statement is no longer true since the release of patch 8.1, and they just forgot to un-sticky it because Blizzard seems to be falling apart internally. Now, with the introduction of the specific enhancements to DX12 only, both manufacturers can take advantage of them, especially since they're now defaulting all DX12-capable systems to use DX12 (mentioned in the 8.1 patch notes), rather than DX11 (where the reverse was true for nVidia only prior to patch 8.1).
