> Apple clearly wants to play the superiority game with their own codecs. They have zero incentive to support any codecs they didn't build, and have been known to abandon standards that they help develop.
And on the other end you have Google who threatens others if they don't bend over and implement Google's codecs in hardware [1]. The codecs space is, and has always been, a game of shitty players.

AV1 is a more open codec than MOV or AAC, so it's not really any shittier of a play than Apple demanding third-parties use AAC for every iPhone accessory.
