The very first sentence in the article (summary) is about 4k video, and it's supposedly something mobile users are whining about:

> With the rise of 4K video, the AV1 codec is becoming popular for better quality on Android devices.

So I don't get why people are putting themselves in that situation in the first place. It's like choosing to use a fork to row a boat and then going waaaahhhh this isn't working very well... no shit, wrong tool for the job.
