@BryanGreyson I've recently switched to use AV1 always. Out of principle, as you mentioned. Decoding on old devices could at least be hardware-accelerated even if no dedicated hardware chip is available, which should be efficient enough.
Software patents and proprietary codecs suck, and without adoption of open standards, the chip manufacturers will never invest in producing hardware for it. So, while things may suck right now, it will help to make things better in the future.
