Both of those cards are unfortunately the last cards from AMD and Intel to not support Vulkan. Both the 7000 series (2012) and Broadwell (2015) support Vulkan.
I understand the frustration, but those are very old and very slow devices. A discrete GPU or a used laptop that supports Vulkan is likely less than $100-200 on eBay.
Worst case scenario, you could use llvmpipe software rendering on Linux, but it would be very slow.
Not everyone would to pay 100 american freedoms for a game. Gaming is usually a way to relax from debt (ignoring CS:GO/2 players), would be weird to pay for that.
Fair, but PC games have always required upgrading hardware to play the latest games. I have upgraded GPUs 4 times since 2011.
I can even see GPUs that support vulkan on my local online marketplace for $20.
