As far as I can tell, Apple has always only supported decoding for non-MPEG codecs.

And their encoders (at least on macOS in the past) usually don’t yield results comparable to software or dedicated quality-optimized encoding ASICs, so if I wanted high quality at low bitrates I’d have to reencode offline anyway.

It would be nice to have it available for video conferencing or game streaming, though.
