That is an interesting and a good news for me.
It would be nice that all the H/W decoded outputs (including VAAPI and VDPAU)
are handled in a common way, and playbin2(3?) has a modified auto-plugging
depending on the capabilities and configurations of sink elements.

Basically I agree with you, and that's why I gave those elements low ranks and
created a sink-bin, which can be speficified by users outside the
auto-plugging.
