I'm no expert on CODECs - hell, I just watch this stuff, I don't write the algorithms! - but it seems to me that H.265 only really comes into play when you have ultra high-def streams, yes?
Given how much SD/MPEG-2 content there still is and the fact that we're only now really catching up with ubiquitous 1080 screens, it'll be some time before we're all ready to feel the benefit of 4k content. That in turn gives time for the libraries to filter through, code to be updated, and so on.
It's the future, sure, but I won't cash in my ION systems *just* yet... :-)
