I am curious, isn't AVIF also taking advantage of the hardware decoding democratized by AV1?

Taking advantage of hardware decoding is generally like pulling teeth.

For video you can't avoid it, as people expect several hours of laptop battery life while playing video. But for static images - I'd avoid the pain.
