AV1 hardware decoders took ages to appear. VVC/h266 was ratified 10.5 months ago, no news of hardware decoders for that yet. I think AV2 won't be released until at least 2024, waiting for h264 patents to expire in 2024-2026 would be very helpful. Regarding patents unifiedpatents has filed lots of lawsuits about hevc/av1 patents and has lost all the lawsuits that have been concluded apparently. So it seems that companies will likely have to pay sisvel to licence patents if they want to use vp9 or av1. Thankfully sisvel's fee is low.
