Most hardware can't decode it either which is very important. Also it's currently being sued over patents

Most hardware is only really true if you account for older hardware in circulation, most new hardware will be shipping hardware decoder support for AV1. On top of this, the software decoder support is remarkable for AV1, `libdav1d` is a marvelous piece of software, bringing access to a plethora of devices lacking hardware decoder support.
