I suppose it is meant to enhance the compression ratio, with the
assumption that images change less in the time direction than in the y
direction.

The demuxer would have to decode all frames and buffer them, that would
not bring any benefit. So I agree, the decode will eat the whole
bitstream and output all frames at once, it's the best solution.
