Vaapi is not the only mechanism that can be used for hardware decode.
V4l2 is an alternative, the one that will be used on the raspberry pi
with the open source vc4 driver (see blog posts
https://anholt.github.io/twivc4/2018/02/12/twiv/ ). I believe there is
some communication between chromium and the pi makers about implementing
this, but I am doubtful this will make it upstream.
