Apple CPUs have AV1 support in hardware.

Only support for decoding and from A17 Pro and M3 onwards, I believe? Going to be a few years before that's commonly available (he says from the work M1 Pro.)

[edit: clarify that it's decoding only]

So does every modern GPU. This is nothing special.
I think you're arguing the same point—that there's plenty of support and it's arguably growing.
