You'd be surprised who many products ship with BlueZ, it's everywhere in all kinds of embedded systems, much like the Linux Wi-Fi stack.

Android is really its own platform that happens to use the Linux kernel as a shortcut.

What we're talking about here is really what used to be called GNU/Linux, so the whole platform that is based on the software developed by the various communities.

This Gabeldorsche is really only for Android. BlueZ is used almost everywhere else.

To be exact, it depends on the generation of hardware. At leat for Intel and AMD, the first version tend to have more shaders, then they switch to ASICs. Intel actually open sourced the shaders that they use.

This solution isn't great, there is direct support for the V4L2 codec API inside ffmpeg. So vaapi is not useful in this case.
