Yeah. Although they still need to support full studio-approved DRM if they have any licensed content. I suppose they could use AV1 only on a subset of the library.

AMD and nVidia are also starting to push AV1 decoding hardware into the PC platform with RX 6000 and RTX 3000.

Also Intel Xe/11th Gen Core! Which is the only thing that seems to be shipping in material volume so far.

I'm not sure if those ASIC in GPU solutions will be compatible with DRM requirements but its certainly a start - there's also the new Intel SoC's coming that will decode and even encode AV1 in hardware.

All the GPU solutions are absolutely supposed to support HW DRM playback. Windows has had good hooks for leveraging that for many years now.
I've not heard of anyone
actually doing adaptive bitrate AV1 with DRM targeting actual consumer HW decode yet, though. Lots of talk about it, but I've not been able to find a single demo package or web site anywhere.
