I wouldn't hold your breath. The main use case for AV1 and VP9 is cloud scale distributed encoding which can very happily be single threaded because inputs are broken into small chunks and encoded in parallel across many many many small cloud VMs. Given the availability of a system to do this, it's a much better solution than trying to do per-encode-instance multithreading because it's way simpler and has zero downsides.

Multi-threading is more important for live, and for desktop encoding.
