Is the issue that the VP9 hybrid decoding is not implemented on Macs (not in Apple's interests as that would only move users from Safari to Chrome) or that it is implemented but still sucks? Also that Mac bug report for Chrome has been opened before any BDW Macs were released, so there cannot be any HW-assisted decoding there. Anyhow, I'm interested how much impact the hybrid decoding has - ie. if pure CPU decoding consumes 100% of the BDW/BSW CPU, how much would less would the CPU usage be with the GPU-assisted mode.
Not saying that it should be implemented in Kodi/ffmpeg, but just out of academic interest.
