Most streaming moved to AV1 since it’s a lot cheaper. H.265 is mostly used by data hoarders who want to save some space and don’t have latest hardware for AV1 (as software encoding is very slow) or a weird subset of people that can pixel spot differences and prefer H.265 over AV1 in some specific cases.
