Unfortunately canvas (rgb'ish) can't overlay as efficiently as <video> (yuv'ish), so there is some power cost relative to the lowest power video overlays.

It really only matters in long form content where nothing else on the page is changing though.

Did you not just describe at least 99% of all web video?

If only that were true, battery usage would be much better :) Just consider the prominence of content like tiktoks/shorts/reels/etc alone.
