I'm pretty sure that the advantages are compelling for a substantial amount of potential users, who can do away with streaming servers, content distribution companies, and trans-coding, while achieving near 100% of targeted audience. There might be some minor trade-offs in terms of CPU and battery use (could be a little higher compared to devices which use a H264 chip, but then again, this is only for mobile devices and few watch feature length movies on their mobiles, and soon we'll move to h.265 which these old chips don't play), but for most of the targeted users, the advantages far outweigh these. Compare that to the (now) $50M market cap, and I think it is a rather compelling proposition.
But for tech illiterates.... doesn't all that translate into barrels of oil or mmcf of gas? : -)
