Developers fight tooth and nail to get every bit of performance from video codecs because this goes directly to battery life and heat on a scale of billions of devices. You can't handwave a 5% performance drop as if this is some recipe app. People pour over microamp power analyzers and high resolution thermographs because they "really care."
