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.
