I didn't mean to imply that encoding 8 bit content in 10 bit AV1 would be the right thing to do.
I just meant that given premium content almost always being > = 10 bit 4:2:2 it makes sense to preserve 10 bit, especially when picky studios are highly critical of how subtle gradients are handled in their content.
