>inexistant (not even in roadmap) hardware acceleration support.

Oh they are definitely on the roadmap ( Qualcomm and Mediatek ). I think a lot of people forget there are long lead time in hardware development. Especially with Mobile where energy usage is a key issue. The conformance test of H.266 only finished in mid 2021 if I remember correctly and continued being refined in 2022. If you are going to test your silicon in 2021, your earliest chance of any mobile solution with VVC is going to be 2023.

I would guess both AV1 and VVC lands in Qualcomm SoC in ~2023. MediaTek and Apple coming in 2024.
