Very few users would want AV1 without hardware support, and Apple platforms do not have that.

You are saying this as if Apple could not add AV1 hardware decoding to their chips.

Intel, AMD and NVIDIA have figured it out 3 years ago, so can Apple.

They will have it in the A17 (announced today) and presumably iOS 17. Until then, there is no point in having it in Safari.
