I assume those 10 and 12 bit codecs do it on playback, it's just that free video services bit-starve the encoders

  Especially with AV1, 10 bit color can lead to a cleaner image with fewer bits than 8 bit. The quantization tables mean that you don't have to store the 10 bit info for the high frequency parts, but just having it available makes things like I frames work better (because randomly shifting blocky output is a worse predictor than the underlying smooth signal).
