>HW decoding pretty much always means "ASIC"
Indeed. For example, hardware decoding is the difference between choppy video and smooth video on the PinePhone because the CPU isn't powerful enough and the GPU is useless for decoding.
(And to fguerraz's edit that their comment doesn't apply to mobile phones "where manufacturers control hardware and software end to end", the manufacturer does not control the software on the PinePhone.)
