My comment was prompted by the fact that the majority of comments in this thread relate to HEVC vs. VP9. It was my mistake to post it as a top level comment rather than a reply to one of the pertinent comments in the thread. You're right in saying that I'm in effect responding to a point that is tangential to the contents of the actual article.
