Better aesthetics and even 18% reduction in file sizes refuses to move the sleepy elephant (h265 is likely still fringe stage). Even a trivial codec licensing fee of $2.50 for Pi users was not very successful for many media formats (i.e. 10% of retail price kills most of the market). However, h264 support was important enough to wrap into the pi4 retail price, and even at 11m/pcs a month there is still no stock available.
I would like to think that integrating reconfigurable logic into chips will help. But, no idea if the economics makes sense. And, the ecosystem around managing that pretty much does not exist.
