At this time shouldn't we consider AV1 a failure and move on to newer codecs, e.g AV2?

It doesn't have fast enough decoders to decode on mobile at 1080p on most devices (>80%).
It still doesn't have encoders which are anywhere fast enough to be usable by mere mortals.
Its hardware adoption is not there - the spec was finalized almost half a year ago, and AV1 is nowhere to be seen in Zen 2.0 (Ryzen 3000), Radeon RDNA 5700 or Intel Ice Lake. No word on its decoding acceleration even in the recently announced Arm's Cortex-A77/Mali-G77.
