I'd support that (as if anyone's asking me...) on three conditions: 1) Maximum duration of, say, 10 s (with mandatory looping) 2) Maximum display size of, say, 25% viewport area 3) Browsers must enforce "Click to stop" on these "video-img" elements even if there are other DOM elements on top.
If none of these conditions apply to gifs, why should they apply to videos in img tags?

That's still not accurate. Load up 20-30 gifs on a page and I can pretty much guarantee you'll see your browser saturate a core.

But why is this tolerated, for lack of a better word? There's no barrier to adding support, a decoder ships with ffmpeg. Youtube has been serving webm/vp9 video for years, so does that mean VP9 Youtube is unavailable on Apple platforms?

Yeah I don't think AV1 is the answer.

#118AV1 will never work on Safari, so it's dead in the water.
Apple is a member of the Alliance for Open Media, the group behind AV1: https://aomedia.org/membership/members/ . I'd suspect apple will roll out support at some point.

Try again using a gallery page on a site like giphy which is going to be more representative of the use case op was talking about. edit: such as https://giphy.com/sports/2019-stanley-cup-playoffs which seems to be entirely gifs if you view page resources in the debugger.
