As I've mentioned before, the standard approach seems to be simply serving H264 in that case as a fallback. Most ARM hardware is disposable anyway, and if you get 2 years of use out of it, you're very lucky. Smartphones are meant to be thrown out and replaced with something newer. If that bothers you, it's between manufacturers and you.
The Codec Generation VP9 and HEVC was no real solution for the Problem. HEVC is ugly with the Patent situation and VP9 was not Supported by Apple(only with third Party player). So it was needed to have h264 as fallback
Maybe we have with AV1 or VVC a generation of Codecs that will be better supported so the h264 fallback is only needed in edge cases(i guess with up to 50% savings in data usage it is more worth than the last generation)
Maybe your mobile devices have no vp9 HW decoder and they expect that Battery life is more valuable to you than mobile data.
The manufacturers want you to buy every 1-2 years a new device(or you get a new one on your cell phone contract.)
But i would say we are over the Point where the innovation is so rapid that is worth for the customer to buy a new one in that Cycle. And looking at the numbers of Phones with old (unpatched) Android versions still in use, would i say that not everyone does what the manufacturers want
Looking at Apple. Iphone5s did still got the update to iOS 12 so end2013-End2019 support(not sure if they will patch Security problems after that)
I personally don't buy Devices that are expected to be thrown away that fast
EDIT
I'd love to see a device that still works after that long, as most of the time these things disintegrate about a year into use.Last edited by Toggleton; 29 October 2019, 07:02 AM.

No sane person would do software encoding or decoding of video on typical ARM hardware. These chips have hardware support for video for a good reason. Optimizing for ARM is purely academic.

Of course, iDevices are a different matter - Apple has patents in H.264 and H.265, so obviously they don't support VP8 or VP9.
