Suppose at some point, Apple TV and rest of Apple hardware will need to support AV1 ?

It seems likely. In addition to any technical benefits it's also royalty free.

I would expect official AV1 support to coincide with new devices that have AV1 hardware decoding capability especially since mobile devices have battery life concerns meaning an A-series SoC that supports AV1. The M2 doesn't have AV1 hardware decoding support, so maybe M3?

AV1 is pretty new anyhow, Apple is rarely the early adopter in this type of technology. My guess is they have prototype chips in their labs with AV1 hardware decoding capabilities though.
