AV1 was designed with hardware decoding in mind. The reason it isn’t as widely supported on hardware is because it was released 5 years after HEVC. It takes a while for new codecs to get hardware support, and even longer for that support to become ubiquitous.

Also, AV1 has the uphill battle of not being able to use any of the patented technology in HEVC.
