How big is the discrepancy?  I'm a bit surprised if there is much but I could
see it happening.  If you're CPU bound, what is the CPU overhead of your app
(not the driver) in the Vulkan vs. GL configuration?

More to the point, I think OpenGL drivers are highly optimized for repeatedly
changing a uniform and drawing as that was the best practice 5-10 years ago. 
Modern applications tend to try very hard to reduce the number of draw calls
and state changes.  Even if the CPU overhead of changing the matrix 50k times
is low, it's likely to cause quite a bit of GPU overhead having all those state
changes and the stalling that likely comes with them.
