In that scenario, VP9 also didn't fail. It gets used for a lot of content on the web.

It never even began to occur to me that one day, my personal local library, would never be in AV1 format.
Yet here you are outlining exactly why it is very unlikely to and it kind of blows me away, you're totally correct.
AV1 /at scale/ when a video is being watched upwards of 500 times a week, makes so much more sense. Those encode times will eventually pay for themselves.
