If they want to use such formats, the codecs exist that can handle all of it. So convince the content providers, its a political debate, not a technical one, and you can't force it on a technical level.
If there is enough demand, then hardware implementations of AV1 will also adopt support for higher chroma. Everything is a matter of demand. If content exists, hardware will come (or content is at least widely planned to roll out).

That just wastes space and/or degrades quality. An image should be compressed as close to the raw material one has - and if thats 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, which a lot of content is, then don't artifically upscale chroma, just because someone is on a crusade. Cheap upscaling is almost as bad as downscaling in the first place.
