H.266/VVC offers the same quality as H.265/HVEC at half the bit-rate

That's cool and all, but H265 isn't even standard yet and requires either a lot of CPU or dedicated hardware. Let's not forget that H265 is not supported by most web browsers, only ones being the latest version of Safari and legacy Edge.

If it were to have the same CPU requirements as H265 then awesome, but I'd guess its roughly the inverse of the bit rate difference, so 2x!
 
Could really only see Netflix jumping on board within a timely manner, which is probably a year or two after the Autumn release of the software.

With COVID-19 keeping everyone home and ISPs struggling to maintain speeds in the beginning, maybe this will push them(internet companies) to adopt this faster. They will see the benefit through experience rather than the usual hypothetical marketing tactics.
 
Companies aren't being lazy or slow adopting H.265; They're avoiding it. AV1 is the industry backed codec supported by Amazon, Netflix, Google(Remember 3 of the main web browsers are Chormium based now), ect, since its cheaper, faster and more efficient than H265 in cases where it can be used.
 
It may be much faster than the adoption of H265. The mobile market is raging and 4K is becoming a standard.
