The use case is simple: why do we use codecs at all: It's easy, files will simply become incredibly large. Stream would be impossible and send via Whatsapp (16 MB lock). Saving on a low budget device would also not be possible. Then of course you also want the most memory-efficient.
There are a lot of other considerations at play. Device compatiblity, for example. Or licensing cost of using the codecs. HW capacity needed to _encode_ the videos. So no, typically you don't want the newest codecs with the slowest presets for any real use case.
