I feel like I’m missing something here. What do the manufacturers have to do with this, beyond perhaps including HEVC in advertising content? That’s on the GPU maker, AFAIK asus/acer practically purchase them from a catalog and build the rest around that size/shape
Edit: if its the licensing fee, that’s on the OS and/or end user, not the hardware

Maybe they’re including the unlicensed codec in their computers.
Ahh, if that’s the case, i have no sympathy for fucking with a stock OS before handing it to the user. Nobody likes vendor bloatware
