>Why would that huge group of absolutely enormous companies let themselves be bossed around by Google
Well first AV1, is practically 90% VP10, On2 hence Google. Second Those companies didn't contribute to AV1 development. They are merely supporting it.
>unencumbered by patents
unencumbered by patents is not patent free. Which is what confuse a lot of people. ( I guess, or I hope ). Google has lots of patents on AV1. Even when creators of the technique dont want it to be patented [1]. The AOM as group are there together so they dont sue each other on patents, and will sue ( cough defense ) anyone who challenge them on patents.
