You are missing the elephant in the room here that this format isn’t royalty free and requires a license and is patented.

Same story with H.265 and AV1 in the video. AV1 is royalty free video codec while H.265 is patented so every device that transcodes or encodes to it should pay royalty fee to the patent holder, but due to the fact that H.265 predates AV1, a lot of devices still don’t fully support AV1.
