> Just what software or service does even use HEVC or VVC over H264, VP8/9 and AV1?

Like everything? Its objectively better in every way.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+, RDP, Teams, etc...

You'll note that Zoom and Webex aren't listed which is why Teams provides sharper screen sharing with less bandwidth. Its likely they also didn't want to pay the shiny nickel to have happier users.

EDIT - I left off 4k UHD Blu Ray. Thats a big one.

As far as I am aware, Netflix, like youtube, use AOM codecs.

Is Bluray actually relevant today?
