If you don’t care about Linux users and you really know what you are doing, by all means.

I don't know much about it. How does it impact Linux users?
Sir? Pls edoocate
Using H.265 (HEVC) can be a problem for Linux users because many distros don’t ship hardware/software support by default due to patent/licensing issues. Users often need to install extra codecs or pay attention to whether their GPU supports hardware decoding. Without that, playback can be CPU-heavy, choppy, or just not work.
