It could be Netflix and Youtube decided against HEVC, which means Apple will need to add AV1 out of necessity. I hardly doubt Apple will budge if it was only Youtube.
While the article said it was being doubtful, I actually think Apple wants its opinion and steering on AV2 a very possible reason.
My guess is that there will be more news leaking out in CES.
