I think you're seriously underestimating how expensive software decoding AV1 is!

I'm not even entirely sure whether a NUC could decode 4K AV1 in software in real-time.

I have a 13 year old CPU that needs 2 cores to decode 4K AV1. It's not that bad.

Maybe not 4K at 60fps but that's not a lot of content.
