> does not address the gap in hardware support between HEVC and AV1 for efficient accelerated decoding

I'm rooting for AV1 just the same as everyone else, but it's still nowhere close to HEVC in terms of hardware support, or even general quality/efficiency. It's just going to take some more time.



Imo it's mostly just Apple holding it back. Once Safari starts supporting AV1, then websites will start using it
