For what it's worth, HEVC seems to have much better hardware support than AV1.
AV1 encodes are also extremely rare when it comes to unofficial content releases.

Yep, it really seems that all that money goes into coehersion so everyone uses their proprietary format. It is hard to actually come across high quality video releases that are in AV1 - even if you prefer the loyalty free nature of AV1. But in terms of hardware, AV1 is getting more popular. For one, it is a relatively new format.
