But isn't that a one time expense?
When a program installs it could compile the hardware acceleration for your platform and test it. Can you not, rather rapidly, directly activate that compiled designs every time you launch the program in the future?
In that same vein, one time compilation for a hardware video decoder when a new codecs is released, and simply loading it when you want to play a video, seems infinitely easier than upgrading your desktop GPU or CPU to one that supports hardware acceleration for a new codec.
