> power usage, lesser battery life, higher energy bills

I like how you padded this list by repeating the same thing thrice. Like, increased power usage is obviously going to lead to higher energy bills.

And it’s especially weird because it’s not true? The current SOTA codec AV1 is at a sweet spot for both compression and energy demand (https://arxiv.org/html/2402.09001v1). Consumers are not worse off!
