So this does not change anything in my view.
Actually it changes something pretty important. This means that now all major browsers will have H.264 support. MediaWiki may not be able to encode its own videos in H.264, but we can still serve existing H.264 videos. So if somebody uploads an MP4 to Commons, that video can be served without having to transcode it into another less efficient format.
