And what would be the argument why a codec be that h265 or h266 should
not be stored in a generic container (avi in this case) ?

Heres the official register:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/wave-avi-codec-registry/wave-avi-codec-registry.xml

there are matches for both h265 and h266
This should not be surprising as avi is intended to be and is a
generic container format. 

Thanks
