Your defense that a phone that's barely a year old can, you think, probably handle 720p AV1, would be irrelevant even if it was true. It MAY be true, but you haven't provided any proof of that at all, and the page you linked literally says that a 4x A72 CAN'T do 4K, and that more cores doesn't really help. So I'm a bit puzzled as to why you linked it in the first place, unless you misunderstood it.
The new link, to 1080p, is more relevant. If the Pi can manage 63fps there - even if it's only dumping the output to dev/null rather than displaying it - then that's academically interesting, but it doesn't fit with what actually happens when trying to play back 720p. I would suggest that for video, not having a watchable output is a fairly significant problem; and I'm confident that the vast majority of people would be in agreement with that position.
Next time I have the Pi handy I'll see what the framerate of the 720p sample is when the output is simply discarded, but I don't think that really changes what the current state of things is on any meaningful or practical level.
