not sure whether it's impossible to get rid of the H.264 encoder parts, or whether the developer was just too lazy

x265 was basically forked and refactored away from the reference HEVC implementation, IIRC. x264 might have been developed similarly in the early stages, but I don't know that for sure. x262 was basically a set of changes to x264's already-mature codebase which allowed it to encode MPEG-2.
So to use an analogy, x264 and x265 are like cousins. x262 is like x264 grew a second head.
