That's fine and not anything new for codecs, they always take a long time before mass adoption.

Take a look at AV1 itself, you can't even say it's really ubiquitous on all hardware. It's quite well along in adoption compared to early days, but some mobile devices are still lacking hardware acceleration for it.



It is still ironic to me that my Steam Deck has decode AV1 acceleration, on a really old CPU/GPU combo.


AMD added AV1 encoding only in later SoCs though. Next Steam Deck will have both.


Why is it ironic?
